Mada,

Nope, neither of those statements mandates an immediate evacuation.

Indeed, they indicate that the cargo compartments will probably contain even a real fire for sufficient time to complete a precautionary disembarkation rather than a full on evacuation.

What will you do if you get a cargo fire indication in the air.Ignore it?
If you wish to discuss this, I'm happy to. If you are going to make stupid straw-man statements, kindly go about your business safe in the knowledge you are incapable of a reasoned discussion with a colleague.

Of course I wouldn't ignore it- I'd follow the checklist which is basically activate the suppression system and land ASAP. It DOESN'T say "And then evacuate".

We had one recently- Crew landed ASAP, fire service scanned with Thermal Image- no fire- Pax disembarked expeditiously but with no "Jump and sliding",
Job done, zero injuries.

What would YOU do if, having just sprayed the holds with insecticide, you received a Cargo Fire warning on push-back?
