## Narrative

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

(-23) AWAITING TAKEOFF CLEARENCE, THE AIRCRAFT WAS PARKED WITH A 12 KNOT TAILWIND. THE CREW GOT A #2 ENGINE FIRE LIGHT, THE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WERE ACTIVED AND THE AIRCRAFT EVACUATED.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE  AIRCRAFT AND DETERMINED THAT RESIDUAL OIL IN THE COWL IN CONJUCTION WITH THE TAILWIND CAUSED THE INDICATION.
