## Discrepancy

WHILE ON THE RAMP THE CARGO SMOKE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED THEN WENT OUT.  CREW WENT THROUGH THE MEMORY ITEMS AND BLEW BOTH EXTINGUISHERS UPON VERIFICATION OF SMOKE BY A RAMP AGENT.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED BOTH FIRE BOTTLES.  ALSO REPLACED FRONT SMOKE DETECTOR BECAUSE OF BROKEN SMOKE SCREEN COVER IAW 26-13-10.
