Narrative:

Shortly after landing at denver stapleton airport, while taxiing I was notified by crew of an airliner that my right wheel was on fire. I immediately stopped and attempted to put out the fire, but was unsuccessful. Upon arrival of the airport fire trucks the fire was extinguished resulting in only minor damage to the aircraft. After moving the airplane to the ramp, I had a mechanic disassemble brakes and wheels. Mechanic found 2 rubber o-rings missing from the right brake caliper. I believe that this was the cause of our fire due to the leaking of hydraulic fluid.
