## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT, THE CREW RECEIVED AN EICAS MESSAGE FOR BAGGAGE SMOKE INDICATION AND THE BAGGAGE FIRE BUTTON ON THE OVERHEAD PANEL WAS ILLUMINATED.  THE CREW DISCHARGED THE FIRE BOTTLES AND DIVERTED TO CLE, LANDING WITHOUT INCIDENT.  FIRE CREWS MET THE AIRCRAFT AND FOUND NO INDICATIONS OF FIRE OR SMOKE.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE FORWARD SMOKE DETECTOR IN THE BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT TO BE INOPERATIVE.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE FORWARD BAGGAGE SMOKE DETECTOR.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS OF THE SMOKE DETECTION SYSTEM WERE FOUND TO BE SATISFACTORY.
