The crew queried tower whether tower would see any smoke, the tower replied he might see something on their right hand side, possibly smoke. The crew shut the right hand engine down, the crew confirmed they were seeing an engine fire indication on their right hand engine, emergency services checked the aircraft and found no trace of unintended fire, heat or smoke. About 20 minutes after landing the aircraft vacated the runway and taxied to the apron.
