R.I.P. all involved and thank you for your service to others.

Smoke/fire in an aircraft is the most serious of all emergencies requiring immediate action that usually ends with "Land as soon as possible." There was very little time from the report of smoke until the accident. I hope that the pilot was trying to land at Arcata and given up on returning to Crescent City.
