Narrative:
Bearskin Lake Air Services flight BLS 340, a Fairchild Metro SA-227-AC, C-FFZN, serial number AC-785B, was landing on runway 11 at Dryden, Ontario. The aircraft touched down long, ran off the end of the runway, and collided with approach lights and the instrument landing system localizer antennae. The aircraft came to rest about 300 feet past the end of the runway and the crew shut down the engines. The captain advised Thunder Bay flight service station that the aircraft had run off the end of the runway. The passengers observed a fire in the left engine tail pipe prior to deplaning. After a short delay, the crew and passengers deplaned and walked to the Ontario Government Fire Centre building. The captain then returned to the aircraft and activated the fire bottle for the right engine. There were no injuries, but the aircraft was substantially damaged. Airport staff observed that the passengers had deplaned and could see no fire. Emergency Response Services located in the City of Dryden were not notified and did not respond to the accident scene.
