## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT WAS AT 31K IN CRUISE WHEN THE BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT FIRE INDICATOR LAMP ILLUMONATED. THE CAPTAIN DISCHARGED THE FIRE BOTTLE AND SELECTED BLEEDS OFF PER THE CHECKLIST. AS THE AIRCRAFT DESCENDED FOR LANDING, THE LAMP EXTINGUISHED AT APPROXIMATELY 4-5K FEET. INITIAL VISUAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE AFTERWORD DISCOVERED NO EVIDENCE OF FIRE OR SMOKE. THE BAGGAGE COMARTMENT SMOKE DETECTOR, FIRE BOTTLE, AND CARTRIDGE WERE REPLACED. AIRCRAFT CONTINUED FLIGHT WITH NO FURTHER ISSUES.

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.
