A Lufthansa Airbus A321-200N, registration D-AIEA performing flight LH-1753 from Athens (Greece) to Munich (Germany) with 177 passengers and 7 crew, was climbing out of Athen's runway 21L when the crew stopped the climb at 8000 feet due to an engine (PW1133G) fire indication and returned to Athens for a safe landing on runway 21L about 13 minutes after departure.
The airline reported the crew received indication of a malfunction. The aircraft taxied to the apron, where an evacuation via slides was carried out due to a strong odour in the aft cabin. Three passengers received minor injuries during the evacuation.
The airline later reported it had actually been an APU fire indication, the crew followed standard procedures and declared emergency.
