## Discrepancy

THE CAPTAIN REPORTED A FIRE IN THE CABIN AT THE L1 DOOR AND TAXIED THE AIRCRAFT BACK TO THE GATE.  THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT USED THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON A BURNING NAPKIN IN THE OVERHEAD LIGHT FIXTURE. THE NAPKIN REMAINS WERE REMOVED BY THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE BULB AS A PRECAUTION,  INSTALLED A MISSING LENS, AND REPLACED THE EXTINGUISHER. THE AIRCRAFT HAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
