Narrative:
On departure at approximately 200 feet AGL the number 2 engine overheat light [and] fire handle illuminated; fire bell and master caution and warning illuminated for approximately 2 seconds then extinguished. Captain felt hot air from his gasper vent and we both smelled something similar to burned electrical wires. We went through the qrc and QRH procedures for engine overheat and then operated the number 2 engine at a reduced thrust setting per the QRH and returned to departure airport for a landing and had equipment and workers meet the aircraft. They reported no smoke or fire and normal engine temperature. We then returned to the gate for normal passenger unloading.
