Narrative:

We received a fire warning bell on touchdown which continued through the rollout. It wouldn't cancel on the fire panel or first officer's side master caution. There were no lights on the fire panel or cargo panel [and] the warning system test was normal. It was canceled on the captain's side. The fire trucks followed us to the gate. We informed ATC; the company; and flight attendants. They said there were no visible indications outside. We deplaned. The fire crew observed the open cargo doors. There was no fire. We logged the event and maintenance replaced the fire sensor in the east&east compartment. We wrote an irregularity report and turned the airplane over to next crew.
