From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Pilot landed and was taxiing to the ramp. After several right turns, the right brake failed and the tower informed the pilot that his right wheel was on fire. The pilot shut the engine down and evacuated the aircraft. FBO personnel extinguished the fire. No injuries.
