Narrative:

After landing in ont, while taxiing to the gate, we shut down #2 engine. As we were turning into the gate, the master caution light came on directing us to the fire detector loop light. We parked at the gate and ran the checklist for a loop fault. Loop test indicated we had a valid fire warning. We called tower to send crash fire rescue equipment and ran the engine fire checklist. The trucks arrived very quickly and the crash fire rescue equipment captain told us he had run a heat scan of the right engine and found no unusual heat patterns and there were no signs of fire. Captain and I were convinced it was a faulty loop light, with no fire. We called maintenance and briefed the mechanic when he got there.
