## Discrepancy

DURING DESCENT, AN AFT CARGO FIRE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH NO AURAL OR MASTER WARNING LIGHT.  NO OTHER INDICATIONS.  LIGHT WENT OUT AFTER ABOUT 3 MINUTES.  NO WARNINGS OR LIGHTS DISPLAYED AT THIS TIME. FIRE DETECTOR SYSTEMS TESTED OK.  NO HISTORY.  CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ACFT OK FOR SERVICE.
