## Discrepancy

ALB - FLT 1471 - EN ROUTE PHL-MHT, CREW RECEIVED THE AFT CARGO FIRE WARNING.  CREW ALSO NOTED AN OIL ODOR IN THE CABIN/COCKPIT.  CREW DISCHARGED THE CARGO FIRE BOTTLES AND FLIGHT DIVERTED TO ALB.  FLIGHT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  THIS INCIDENT IS BELIEVED TO BE RELATED TO THE OIL LEAK FROM THE APU.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE APU, THE CARGO COMPARTMENT FIRE BOTTLE, AND FIRE BOTTLE SQUIBS.  ALSO, PERFORMED DECONTAMINATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEM.  OK FOR SERVICE.  (M)
