Use Of Pax Ox During Smoke/fire.

Hello,

Just wondering what you your view on this is.
Lets just say your flying at FL240 and you get a smoke warning from cabin crew with alot of heat but no sign of fire. The pax are struggling to breath. We go on OX but do you drop the passenger OX. My airline gives no guidance and i have yet to ask, i well next week and reporback.
My view is you do not drop them as the ox will feed the potential fire, either way the ox is mixed with the ambiente air so its pointless,or are am i wrong??

I have asked many experienced pilots from other well established airlines and as with most things they all had varied opinions. This surely is a something that should be clear cut and a big discussion point during training.

Any replies much appreciated.

Regards Allow!
