The Cessna 152 aircraft (registration C-GCSJ, serial number 15284043) took off from the Oshawa Municipal Airport destined for Kingston, Ontario, with the pilot and one passenger on board. At approximately 1510 eastern daylight time, just after clearing the Oshawa control zone, the pilot and passenger noticed an electrical odour and observed a small fire and smoke emanating from the bottom of the lower left instrument panel where the aircraft lighting switches were located.The passenger sitting in the right front seat reached for and discharged the fire extinguisher. The fire was quickly extinguished; however, the extinguishing agent and smoke clouded the cockpit, reducing visibility. Both cockpit side windows were opened and visibility improved considerably. The aircraft returned to the Oshawa Airport and landed without further incident. The pilot suffered a minor burn to the leg.
