Why does this come out as false?

ans =
  1×1 cell array
    {'FIRING'}

ans =
  logical
   0

"Why does this come out as false?"

Note the difference:

{'Hello'} % what you actually have
ans = 1×1 cell array
    {'Hello'}
'Hello' % what you think you have
ans = 'Hello'

You have nested cell arrays, so even after curly brace indexing into the outer cell array you still have the innner cell array.

A{1,5} itself is a cell. Do the following

class(A{1,5})
isequal(char(A{1,5}),'FIRING')
A{1,5}{1}
