## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING CLIMB-OUT THE PILOTS NOTICED THE ENGINE FIRE DETECTION INDICATION LIGHT CAME ON. THE ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AND THE ENGINE FIRE EXTINGUISHING BOTTLE WAS ACTIVATED. THE PILOTS DECLARED AN EMERGENCY, LANDED SAFELY AT THE AIRPORT OF ORIGIN AND EVACUATED THE AIRCRAFT. NO ENGINE FIRE WAS OBSERVED. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM AND FOUND THAT THE FIRE LOGIC CONTROL BOX HAD HEAT DAMAGE AT AN ELECTRICAL CONNNECTOR. (TC NR 20080102008)
