I still find it amazing that the media didn't jump,all over this story like a cheap suit.
Smoking bags being pulled from the hold, Mayday calls, RFF spraying water for 15 mins etc
Surely this is not "normal" for Mel Airport and is as good a story as "Qantas 767 is death defying missed approach......"
One more thing, the 737 doesn't have cargo fire detection or suppression does it?
