Narrative:
During landing rollout; we got a level 3 indication of an engine fire in the number 3 engine. We cleared the runway; ran appropriate checklist and secured the engine firing the fire bottle. We did not declare an emergency. We requested crash fire rescue equipment assistance and crash fire rescue equipment did not show any evidence of a fire on the number 3 engine. We shut the remaining engines down and had maintenance tow us in. CAT 2 approach with half mile visibility; blowing snow; RVR 3;000 ft. Snow ingesting in the number 3 engine during rollout could have caused an anomaly for the engine fire indication.
