1. Because there was no indication of fire at this stage. Smoke - yes, sparks - possibly, but that is very different to fire.
2. Because your fire training may have equiped you with basic knowledge to equip you to cope with reaction to fire in the average workplace. You can generally exit these workplaces by doors or fire escapes. Aircraft are not like these. That is why they have highly trained crew to assist people through potentially hazardous situations and yes, an emergency evac is a hazardous situation.
3. Because shouting fire will increase the stress levels hugely and people do not perform well when over aroused. They need calm direction, not some partly trained half wit with hero complex trying to use his limited knowledge who only succeeds in making things worse.
