Aircraft
[During the flight]; we had a baggage smoke annunciation. We identified the annunciator and canceled the alarm. I called for the checklist and completed it. We [requested ATC assistance] and were cleared direct to the airport. We landed on Runway XX uneventfully. There was no smoke present upon landing and we were escorted to the ramp by fire vehicles. Once on the ramp we deplaned safely while fire crews examined the baggage compartments in both the nose and the tail. No smoke was found.
During descent we got a Baggage Smoke annunciator and master warning. Captain called for the QRC which we completed. We [advised ATC] and requested direct to the field. We also requested fire and rescue to meet us. The Captain briefed the passengers. We landed and were met by the fire trucks and crew. We determined there was no smoke or fire and then taxied to the FBO. The fire crew examined both baggage compartments and the cabin using a thermal cameras. No hot spots were detected. Passengers remained calm and thanked us afterward.
C525 flight crew reported a baggage compartment smoke warning; resulting in an unscheduled landing.
