Which statement is true regarding cargo compartment fire extinguishing, except the A321H?
- There is only one fire bottle - pressing either DISCH pushbutton discharges it into both compartments.
- There are two fire bottles - when the DISCH pushbutton is pressed they are both discharged into the appropriate compartment.

Which statement accurately describes each engine’s dedicated fire detection system?
- The Fire Detection Unit will alert you to an engine fire if both fire detection loops detect a heat rise.
- The Fire Detection Unit will alert you to an engine fire if one fire detection loop detects a heat rise and the other is determined to be faulted.
- The Fire Detection Unit will alert you to an engine fire if both fire detection loops fail with a few seconds of each other.
