A Beechcraft D18 on a VFR charter from Fort Frances flew into deteriorating weather near Ignace and lost partial engine power, probably from carburettor icing. The pilot could not regain altitude and the aircraft came down in trees, losing a wing and catching fire. All five occupants survived with minor injuries.
