## Discrepancy

IN FLIGHT THE RT ENGINE FIRE WARNING GIVE VISUAL AND AURAL SIGNAL.  REDUCED THROTTLE TO IDLE, NO HELP.  SHUT DOWN ENGINE AND FIRED BOTH BOTTLES, STILL NO HELP.  LANDED AT SCHEDULED STATION, SJU.  FOUND THE CENTRAL AURAL WARNING SYSTEM (CAWS) AT FAULT FOR ERRONEOUS INDICATION, AND REPLACED SAME.  ALSO REPLACED BOTH ENGINE FIRE WARNING LOOPS PRECAUTIONARY, AND THE UNITS NECESSARY TO RESTORE THE FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM.  CHECK-C 10-8-00 JFK.
