FedEx 777 diverts to Whitehorse
FedEx 195, a B777 just made an unscheduled stop in Whitehorse and was greeted with fire trucks. Seems precautionary. It was enroute from Memphis to Anchorage. Anyone know what gives?

Fire Suppression System automatically discharged in position 2L but no sign of combustion once on the ground. Just a lot of foam on the main deck!

A Federal Express Boeing 777 200F (FDX195) from Memphis, TN (KEM) to Anchorage, AK (PANC) diverted to Whitehorse, YT (CYXY) due to a cabin fire indication and declared an emergency. ARFF were on standby and FDX195 landed Runway 32L at 1455Z. ARFF inspected the aircraft and determined no fire present. FDX195 exited Runway 32L at 1616Z.
