Narrative:
After departing during climb out (through 10;000 ft) we had a right engine fire indication. We leveled off at 16;000ft and accomplished emergency checklist. It appeared that we had a bleed air issue but with the engine fire light out we were still getting intermittent fire bell. We decided to treat it as an engine fire which ended up shutting down the right engine and using one extinguisher bottle in the right engine. At that point; the fire bell and fire lights ceased. We diverted to a nearby airport; where we had emergency equipment standing by. Normal single engine approach and landing was conducted and fire/rescue crews met us on the runway. Fire crew concluded that the fire was present and aircraft was secure. Fire crews escorted us while we were under tow by an FBO back to their ramp.from what I understand; this aircraft; has had a history of false fire indications on the right engine in the past.
