I was once on a District line train where the motor in the second last car
(in front of me) caught fire bellowing out toxic black smoke. I decided to
wait until we got to the station before pressing the alarm. (I didn't fancy
being stranded between stations with smoke heading my way.)

I thought it was policy to always continue to the next station ("where
help can be more easily given") if the alarm cord was pulled.
