THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT BY THE AIRPORT FIRE DEPARTMENT QUICKLY.  AFTER THE INITIAL INSPECTION WAS CARRIED OUT, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RT LOWER FLEXIBLE BRAKE LINE WAS U/S THAT ATTACHES TO THE CALIPER.  THE RT TIRE WAS U/S DUE TO THE FIRE.  THE WHEEL ASSY WAS REPLACED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED TO THE FBO`S HANGER WHERE IT WAS JACKED AND A DETAILED INSPECTION WAS CARRIED OUT.
