## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE LT ENGINE FIRE DETECTOR ILLUMINATED ON APPROACH.  PILOT DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND CONTINUED APPROACH TO LANDING.  WARNING ANNUNCIATOR EXTINGUSHED ABOUT 1 MIN LATER (CO-INCIDENTAL WITH CLEARING IMC CONDITIONS). THE PILOT CONTINUED TO LANDING.  A SUBSEQUENT GROUND CHECK SHOWED NO SIGNS OF FIRE OR OVERHEATING.  WHEN CHECKED WITH THE ACFT MFG, THEY APPEARED TO BE AWARE OF SIMILAR FALSE INDICATIONS POSSIBLY AS A RESULT OF MOISTURE.
