What: Kelowna Flightcraft Boeing 727-200 en route from Edmonton,AB to Hamilton,ON
Where: Edmonton Canada
When: Aug 19th 2011
Who: flight crew on freight flight
Why: After takeoff, the crew got an indication that one engine was hot.

The crew shut down the engine before fire suppression engaged.

They returned to Edmonton and made a safe landing, if a landing can be called safe with flames shooting out of an engine.

The emergency crews dealt with the engine that had been reported on fire, but actually it was another engine entirely which had been the source of the flames.

We aren’t entirely sure whose wires were crossed, the flight system or a human reading the flight system. What matters for the time being, is that there were no injuries. It will be interesting hearing how the investigation goes on this.
