## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NUMBER ONE ENGINE FIRE WARNING ACTIVATED ON LCIMBOUT 2 MINTUES AFTER TAKEOFF. ENGINE FIRE AND SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES WERE FOLLOWED.  THE ENGINE FIRE INDICATION ENDED UPON DISCHARGE FO THE FIRST FIRE RETARDANT BOTTLE.  AN EMERGENCY WAS DELCARED AND THE AIRCRAFT REUTRNED TO SPOKANE.  APPROACH AND LANDING WERE UNEVENTFUL.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE ENGINE AND FOUND NO EVIDNECE OF FIRE.  ONE FIRE LOOP AND THE FIRE WARNING AMPLIFIER WERE REPLACED AS PRECAUTIONARY.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
