## Discrepancy

IAH - FLIGHT 2268, DURING TAKEOFF THE CREW REPORTED A BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT SMOKE INDICATION.  THE CREW DISCHARGED BOTH BOTTLES AS A PRECAUTION AND RETURNED TO IAH WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND REMOVED AND REPLACED BOTH BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT SMOKE DETECTORS, OPERATIONALLY TESTED WITH NO DEFECTS, REMOVED AND REPLACED BOTH FIRE BOTTLES, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.
