Narrative:

Took off from pbi. Climbing through 12000 ft on vectors with ZMA, received fire indication on right engine (bell, aural 'fire right engine,' and fire light). Followed abnormal procedures and while retarding throttle towards idle, all fire indications ceased. Engine instruments normal. No vibrations. Continued checklist and made decision to divert into mco. Made a flaps 28 degree landing with right engine at idle. Stopped straight ahead on runway 36L. Fire crews inspected aircraft and found no damage. Taxied into gate, deplaned passenger and turned aircraft over to maintenance.
