Inside the cabin the fire can at least be attacked with an extinguisher.
I read that also. Why knowingly allow something like that inside in the first place?
Because it makes more sense to allow it inside the cabin, where it can be extinguished in an emergency, than have it in the baggage hold where it can't? People are going to carry the things with them anyway, so let's do it the safest way possible.
Now follow through and keep the possible hazard OUT of the cargo hold!!
