Engine Fire

In a turbo prop, in flight, if the T-handle/fire handle illuminates indicating an engine fire, would there be any other indications of the fire on the engine gauges (ie. high ITT, excessive fuel flow etc) or. Is it possible to confirm the presence of a fire by looking at the gauges or looking at the engine? If there were no other indications could you be certain that the illumiated handle was a false alarm? Would you shut it down if everything seems fine (other than the big red handle)? Thanks.
