RED LAKE, Ont. -- More details are expected today on a fiery plane crash in northwestern Ontario that killed five people but that two others survived.

The Transportation Safety Board dispatched investigators to the scene of the crash Monday in the remote municipality of Red Lake, not far from the Manitoba border and about 500 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay.

A spokesman says the agency expects to start getting information from them today.

The Bearskin Airlines plane went down just after 6:30 p.m. local time Sunday on approach to the Red Lake airport.

Police say the twin-engine turboprop burst into flames when it hit the ground, and only two people survived -- one of whom pulled the other to safety.

The two pilots -- a 25-year-old from Mississauga, west of Toronto, and a 34-year-old from Winnipeg -- were among those killed.

The survivors were identified as a 29-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman, both from Winnipeg.

The two were taken by ambulance to hospital where police said they were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
