Aircraft
During descent we received a fire indication on the right engine (Bells; Lights) when passing 7;000 FT MSL. We had already been cleared to XXX intersection for the ILS and the runway was in sight. I called for the Engine Fire Checklist which the First Officer performed while I continued to hand fly the approach. We declared an emergency and the fire trucks were scrambled. The right engine was shut down according to the QRH and I made an uneventful single engine landing. After landing; the emergency crews inspected the aircraft and saw no indication of fire; so we were cleared to taxi to the gate. This was a ferry flight with no passengers and just one intern observing.
Crew received a right engine fire warning during initial approach.
