## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING TAKE-OFF, THE FIRE WARNING WENT OFF FOR NR 2 ENGINE. THE PILOT LOOKED OUT HIS WINDOW AND NOTICED AN ORANGE GLOW. SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND THE FIRE WENT OUT. CONTINUED TO BASE WHERE IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE EXHAUST SEGMENT HAD COME APART AND HAD BURNED THROUGH THE CARB AIR SCOOP. THE CARB AIR SCOOP AND THE EXHAUST SEGMENT WERE CHANGED.
