Narrative:

[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.
