## Narrative

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

(-23) THE CAPTAIN STATED THAT THE SMOKE INDICATOR ON THE FLIGHT ENGINEER'S PANEL WENT OFF, INDICATING SMOKE IN THE FORWARD CARGO BAY. THE CREW DONNED THEIR MASKS, TOLD AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL OF THEIR EMERGENCY, AND REQUESTED TO BE DIVERTED TO BILLINGS, MONTANA. THEY FIRED THE FIRE BOTTLE, RAN THE CHECKLIST, AND ON FINAL APPROACH, FIRED THE SECOND BOTTLE, AND THEN LANDED. THE COCKPIT CREW FOLLOWED PROCEDURE. AFTER LANDING, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO SMOKE OR FIRE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
