## Discrepancy

CLE FLIGHT 2899 THE CREW REPORTED A APU FIRE WARNING ON DESCENT AFTER APU START UP.  WARNING WENT AWAY AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND APU STARTED NORMALLY.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND FOUND A BLEED LEAK OF THE APU BLEED DUCT AT THE FLEX JOINT.  THE BLEED DUCT WAS REPLACED AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD.
