Bear in mind that a cargo SMOKE indication is not necessarily a fire. Neither is a burning smell. The SMOKE indication can remain after extinguisher discharge as the agent also sets off the detectors.

Evacuation may not be the only option if a situation is unknown, static or controllable, but always remains an option.
