There was a brake oil leak that started the fire. Crew was not aware of it but were alerted by the ground crew.

Exactly, and what do you think the brake temperatures were when they arrived at the gate? That’s why you don’t ride the brakes ‘cause you can ignite fluids, melt a rim fuse plug and even set a tire on fire!
