Default What would you do?

You've shut down the left engine because it was on fire. You ask for vectors to the nearest suitable airport, and about that time, smoke is detected in the cargo compartment. You activate the extinguisher and run that checklist. Shortly thereafter, you get a lav smoke indcation. You notify the flight attendant, run that checklist, and the FA comes back and says yes, there is smoke in the lav, but she doesn't see any fire.

Cleared for the approach, glideslope is alive, call for flaps 15. They don't move.

Do you:

A) Abort the approach and run the flap fault checklist
B) Continue the approach estimating your speeds

My instructor and I disagreed on this one today. I'm just curious what some other pilots would do.
