The real storry goes like this:
Aircraft already fueled APU running with Pax on board preparing for push back.
Flight crew gets APU fire warning and immediatly pulls APU fire handle AND '1&2 engine fire handles'(Engines were off), then carried out emergency evacuation procedure!

Several ground personnel were present.
Would it not of been simplier to quickly get a conformation from Ground crew if there seems to be smoke or fire etc. it's a 737-200, not a large A/c. While also using the APU fire handle as precaution.

It would of been less of a drama to what took place!
I don't mean to knock anyone, but it was a 'panic attack'.

It was only an indication problem in the end.
