Narrative:
300-500 ft after takeoff the #2 engine fire light came on. Appropriate checklists were ran. Captain elected to come back and land overweight instead of dumping. We landed 20000 pounds overweight. Fire was extinguished in-flight. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the aircraft was a B727-200 and pwred with P&west JT8D-15D engines. The reporter said the cause of the fire warning was a broken engine anti-ice duct clamp which allowed 1300 degree air to strike the fire warning loop.
