On initial climb out while passing through 2;200 feet MSL a fire warning bell sounded. It was determined to be the APU. The memory items were accomplished and the APU fire bottle was shot. ATC was advised and the fire equipment was requested. The aircraft was stopped on the runway and evacuated. The aircraft was inspected by the fire crew and was subsequently towed in to maintenance.
A Hawker 800 Captain experienced an APU fire warning shortly after takeoff. The APU fire memory items were accomplished and the fire bottle was discharged before returning to the departure airport.
