Narrative:
On oct/sun/02, I was scheduled to operate flight abcd from mia to tlh. Aircraft X was brought in by a different crew and it had 1 fire loop for the left engine jet pipe inoperative and deferred. When I tested the fire warning system, both fire warning system for the left engine failed to test properly. I tried several times with the fire loop switches in various position, but it produced the same result. When I talked to the inbound crew, the captain said that it was deferred and tested properly for him. The flight canceled because of the new maintenance problem.
