## Discrepancy

DURING ROLL UP TO GATE, NR 1 BRAKE CAUGHT FIRE AND THEN SPREAD TO NR 2 BRAKE.  GROUND PERSONNEL USED FIRE EXTINGUISHERS TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED BOTH BRAKES AND TIRES, ALSO CLEANED AND INSPECTED THE MAIN AXLES.  OPERATIONAL CHECKED GOOD AND AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
