Narrative:

While en route from tol to cvg, crew received a 'right engine fire' warning. After performing necessary shutdown and checklists including the firing of the fire extinguisher, the crew diverted to day. After an uneventful landing, the crew evacuate/evacuationed 9 passenger on the nearest taxiway. The emergency crews met the aircraft and confirmed that there appeared to be no evidence of fire or smoke damage. Evidently, there was a false indication problem.
