## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMB, THE RIGHT ENGINE FIRE WARNING SYSTEM ILLUMINATED.  CREW PULLED THE RIGHT ENGINE FIRE HANDLE AND FIRED ONE BOTTLE.  THE A/C RETURNED TO AUS AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  UPON INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE FOUND THE RIGHT ENGINE STARTER HAD EXPERIENCED AN UNCONTAINED FAILURE.  NO FIRE HAD OCCURRED.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE RIGHT ENGINE.
