Aircraft
2 Crew on board only. We departed ZZZ after all normal flight occurrences and procedures. During climb out through 23;000 ft. we hit a cloud layer and per the OAT we turned on the engine anti ice. After turned off a couple minutes later we got a right engine fire light. As PIC I performed the immediate action items. The light remained on and per procedures I activated the Engine Fire Bottle. The light went out momentarily and by then we had shut down the affected right engine per the checklist. At this point we had [requested priority handling] and headed back for ZZZ. The fire light came back on and we decided to expel the second Fire Bottle. The light remained on so I initiated a rapid descent to influence air flow to extinguish the fire. We proceeded to ZZZ and the fire light extinguished and was intermittently coming on and off. We followed the Engine Fire Checklist and One Engine Inoperative Approach and Landing Checklist. We discussed Landing and Evacuation Procedures before landing and decided not to use speed brakes or thrust reversers on landing. We landed and stopped with approximately 1000 ft. of runway left and evacuated on the runway to ensure the safety of both crew members as we were the only two onboard. I spoke to ATC after wards and they did not need anything from us.
C560 Captain reported a right hand engine fire warning; causing an in flight shut down and an air turn back to a precautionary landing.
