Ever hear the saying "unless you're on fire or getting shot at; take your time"? Even then - "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" still applies. In the case of a fire indication "slow" means giving an extra pause to verify you have the correct fire handle and thats about it.

There was a time when I might have considered doing like you suggested - investigating, etc. That was young and dumb me. I know better now; thankfully I didn't learn the hard way. Flying airplanes is easy. Making good decisions is the hard part, especially when grounding or diverting makes the boss, customer, or your family unhappy. Sometimes that is just part of being PIC.
