Narrative:

My first officer and I were climbing through approximately 22;000 feet when the right engine fire light illuminated. Per the emergency memory items I reduced the throttle to idle and a few seconds later the light extinguished. We ran the appropriate checklists for an engine fire and decided quickly that we would divert to a nearby airport. The first officer informed ATC that we had a possible engine fire and that we wanted to divert. We were immediately given clearance and made an uneventful landing from a visual approach. After shutdown there was no visible evidence of an engine fire on the right engine.
