## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT HAD A LT FIRE LIGHT COME ON SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF.  LT ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AND FIRE BOTTLE WAS ACTIVATED.  AIRCRAFT THEN RETURNED TO AIRPORT.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM AND FOUND THE FIREWALL FIRE DETECTOR FAULTY.  FIRE DETECTOR WAS REPLACED AND AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
