## Discrepancy

SNA - APU TAIL PIPE FIRE - APU FIRE REPORTED BY GROUND PERSONNEL, APU FIRE EXTINGUISHER WAS DISCHARGED. MAINTENANCE VISUALLY INSPECTED THE APU COMPARTMENT, TAIL PIPE, AND SURROUNDING AREA, NO DAMAGE WAS NOTED. SYSTEM WAS PLACED ON MEL 26-22-00, COND. 1 (APU FIRE EXTINGUISHER SYSTEM INOPERATIVE).  WHEN AIRCRAFT ARRIVED IN PHX THE TURBINE VENT CHECK VALVE WAS REPLACED PER TSM 49-00-00-810-851, AND FIRE EXTINGUISHER BOTTLE WAS REPLACED IAW AWA T/C R6A26301.
