At approximately 10:00 UTC, the Kapuskasing Airport Manager was advised that Commercial Aviation hanger was on fire at Kapuskasing Airport (CYYU). The Fire Department was on site when he arrived at approximately 10:20 UTC. No one was at the hanger and C-GBFO, a Piper PA31T aircraft, was parked inside the hanger. The fire was brought under control at approximately 11:00 UTC. It was determined that the fire was started by the de-ice cart that was plugged in to keep the fluid warm. There was extensive damage to hanger and some damage to the aircraft.
UPDATE 8-16-2011: Follow-up information received from Aircraft Maintenance & Manufacturing [2011/08/05]: A Civil Aviation Safety Inspector (CASI) advised that the cause of the hangar fire has not been determined and is currently under investigation. A Design Approval Organization (DAO) report prepared by a Design Approval Representative (DAR) concluded that the aircraft C-GBFO is determined to be destroyed (due to structural damage caused by extreme heat).
Registration C-GBFO formally deleted from the Canadian Civil Aircraft Register with effect from December 16, 2011
