Narrative:
After a prolonged situation with the engines feathered and a tailwind; we received a nacelle #2 overheat warning. We moved #2 condition lever from feather to maximum RPM and the warning cleared. Moments later we got #1 engine fire warning. We initiated the procedure for engine fire on ground. When condition lever was moved to fuel shutoff; fire warning cleared. We called maintenance and made entry in log.
