## Discrepancy

AT FL290, DURING DESCENT,  RECEIVED A NR 2 ENGINE FIRE ALERT, LOOP A,  LOOP B MEL FROM PREVIOUS FLIGHT.  RAN QRH,  NO OPTION BUT TO SHUTDOWN THE NR 2 ENGINE FOR FIRE ALERT. DISCHARGED THE FIRE BOTTLE.  RECIEVED A SECOND FIRE ALERT DURING DESCENT MOMENTARLY,  THEN EXTINGUISHED.   INSPECTED THE NR 2 ENGINE AND NO SIGNS OF FIRE.  REMOVED AND REPLACED THE NR 2 ENGINE PYLON FIRE DETECTOR IAW MM 26-11-02-4.  OPS CHECKED GOOD.
