## Discrepancy

BOTH CARGO FIRE BOTTLES WERE DISCHARGED AND AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO GLA DUE TO A FIRE WARNING IN THE AFT CARGO COMPARTMENT. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY AND THE L-1 AND L-2 DOOR SLIDES WERE DEPLOYED TO EVACUATE THE PASSENGERS AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE. THE EMERGENCY EVACUATION SLIDES OPERATED PROPERLY AND PASSENGERS EXITED THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT INJURY. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF FIRE OR SMOKE. THE AIRCRAFT WILL BE FERRIED TO EWR FOR MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING.  *S/D*  MAINTENANCE PERFORMED A SYSTEM TEST OF CARGO COMPARTMENT SMOKE DETECTION IAW MM 26-16-00 AND MM 26-01-01 AND NO DEFECTS WERE NOTED.
