Ag-Rotor, I'm going to have a guess and say that it hasn't crashed (as reported) but landed, already on fire to some degree and continued to burn.

I'm basing this on the fact the blades all look pretty much straight and guess it has rolled/collapsed to one side as it burnt.

All wild assumptions of course but if correct means the bladder probably had nothing to do with it.
Spot on CC - sloppy re-fuel followed by inadequate clean-up. Fuel in baggage locker. Poof - no more helicopter...............
