What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: during taxi for takeoff the left engine fire warning light came on. The crew secured the left engine and the light went out. One of the passengers identified himself as a heart patient and requested the airconditioner be turned on. The pilot let the right engine run so that the passengers would be comfortable until a bus could be dispatched to return the passengers to the terminal. The aircraft was towed to eagle aviation where contract maintenance found a loose bolt securing the exhaust flange. The bolt was torqued, and the fire warning system checked ok. The aircraft was returned to service.
