Narrative:
First had #1 bleed leak message, while completing checklist items concerning this problem. Had baggage compartment smoke warning. Completed checklist items and requested the flight attendant to visually check the compartment (part of aom checklist). She reported no evidence of smoke or fire. She continued to monitor compartment. Upon landing had crash fire rescue equipment (requested prior to landing) visually examine compartment and they found no indications of fire. We then taxied to gate. This appears to have been a malfunction of the system. A maintenance report was not available at the time of this report. This is not the first time the EMB145's aft baggage compartment smoke warning system has given a false warning.
