During an aerial application flight the airplane sustained a total loss of engine power. The pilot executed an emergency dump of the on board chemicals, followed by an emergency landing. During landing the airplane impacted small pine trees in a clear cut area of a forest, and before the airplane came to a stop it was on fire. The post flight accident investigation was limited due to the fire damage sustained by the aircraft. Due to the lack of evidence remaining the reason for the loss of engine power was not determined.
Probable Cause: a total loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
