## Discrepancy

APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR AFTER TAKEOFF FROM KWI, ENGINE-2 FIRE DETECTOR FAIL ALERT INTERMITTENTLY APPEARED ON THE SD.  (NOTE SYSTEM 2-B FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM PREVIOUSLY ON MEL).  FLIGHT CREW FOLLOWED PROCEDURES AND RETURNED TO KWI.  EXPECTED FIX:  REPLACE DEFECTIVE FIRE DETECTION LOOPS AND HARNESSES.
