## Discrepancy

(CAN) AFTER LANDING AND TAXIING AIRCRAFT, APU WAS STARTED & FIRE HANDLE ILLUMINATED & AUDIBLE WAS HEARD. CREW PULLED APU FIRE HANDLE & EMPTY THE APU FIRE BOTTLE. ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE COUPLING FOR THE COMBUSTION LINER BROKE. COUPLING WAS REPLACED. FIRE BOTTLE WAS REPLACED. NO FURTHER PROBLEMS ON SUBSEQUENT FLIGHTS.
