The question is, as worldwide transport of Li-Ion batteries will keep on going strong, and in the meantime as defensive measures are not yet taken, what course of action do you think we should take on receiving a fire alarm on the FWD Cargo for example (without any type of visual or smoke confirmation)? We have been getting many of the 9FZ types lately where you know fire suppresion system won't do anything to help and you have the clock ticking fast in case of a real fire.
However, we are used to seeing many reports of false fire alarms (check avherald.com) that I'm wondering if just plunging in to the nearest piece of concrete (or ditching into the ocean, as mentioned before) to the first fire alarm might be reasonable. I'm not saying to disregard the fire alarm, obviously, but should we ditch in case of remote areas?
