Nobody ever makes this point when training for fires but all you have to do is go back and read about three or four accidents reports to realize that if there is a fire you have mere minutes to be on the ground.
Thank you Sean Dell.
As for the original question, you may or may not have smoke in the cockpit with a cargo hold fire. But if you do, I'm sure you wouldn't second guess yourself as you seem to be after your sim session.
Good luck.
