We do slide evacs when the slides become timexed. Everyone in the company is invited to come and play in the hangar and have as many goes as he/she wants.
Modern freighters (744F in our case) have a fireproof cargo compartment with plently of fire-fighting equipment. Anyhow, we would depressurize.
I believe the burn rate on a cargo net has to be less than 2.5In/min
Edit; We also have a "Dangerous Goods Notification". This mentions Proper Shipping Name, UN number, type of packing, quantity, location on aircraft etc etc. We also carry an emergency reponse guide, which tells you what to do depending on what type of DG you've got on board.
