What external warning is there for an APU fire?
- Aural.
- Red light.
- Both aural and a red light.
Explanation from PART66Online
An APU fire while the aircraft is on the ground gives an external warning that combines an aural horn with a red light at the ground-servicing/APU panel, so personnel around the aircraft are alerted as well as the flight deck. A single indication (aural only or light only) would be incomplete; both are provided for the external APU fire warning.
