Brake fire?? Forget the fire engine, use sand to put it out,,

That last video is scarey indeed.
Shows how a “simple” rejected take-off/ heavy use of brakes on landing can turn into a real nightmare.

The firecrews dont seem to be responding well at all, except the poor hapless firefighter with the hose who several times can been seen asking for more water pressure!

No one appears to be throwing water on the right main gear !

You want to see how NOT to deal with a brake fire???

It is rare that the wheels explode as they have fuseable plugs fitted to let the nitrogen out when the wheels get too hot.
