It was Peppers !

PT6A, Dry Ice would not set a firm sensor off. i am realiably told that it was a pallet of cargo which had green / red peppers loaded. Netted and probably plastic sheeting ( plastic is my guess ). It was the heat & humidity that tripped the fire sensor. As there is no way of telling if a fire or not - the crew did the right thing.
