On ground it was discovered that the firewall between #3 and #4 had burnt through. Requires both engines to be taken off to fix.
Actually a pneumatic duct clamp had failed and the resulting hot air leak caused the fire warning, The damage consisted of heat damage to the fibreglass insulation blanket which has been replaced. It did not require engine removal and it did not burn through the firewall!
