We train annually. Since I carry literally tons of hazardous batteries and other flammable materials like many cargo dogs, I review essentially every flight some of the basics of fire emergencies. UPS Flight 6 and Asiana 991 are a good motivation for me to review and stay fresh on my own time beyond the annual mins. I Always have a fire runway selected as I progress throughout the flight.
In any case, the EVAS is pretty simple and easy IMO, YMMV, but glad I have it. Simple, doesn't rely on much, no aircraft systems to go wrong using it when need it the most. Low tech when everything is in a bad way.
I'm fine with high tech too. Just have had some fail in my career that created a problem when needed most. This product is not even on the market.
You appear to dislike the option, no worries. If your company ever installs it, you can forget as fast as you desire.
