Narrative:
During climb out of rno on runway 16L, at 7700 ft, the #3 engine fire light came on. Emergency checklist was accomplished and engine shutdown. We climbed to 8500 ft, called tower, declared emergency and requested fire equipment on the ground. Tower vectored us around for visual downwind to runway 16L. I (first officer) was flying. The captain took control on final and landed on speed (bug plus 10 KTS) in the 1ST 1000 ft. We used reverse thrust and speed brakes and normal braking. We were going to clear the runway but an aircraft was blocking the turn off. So we stopped straight ahead. Fire department looked us over (engine and brakes) and said we looked fine. Tower directed us to do a 180 degree on runway. As we pushed up 1 and 2 engines -- we couldn't move. We informed tower and called our maintenance. We called our maintenance coordinator in atl for advice. The #3 and 4 wheels were locked. We could not use a tug for fear of damaging nose gear. Several hours later, aircraft was jacked up, #3 wheel spun loose, #4 wheel removed and towed to the gate.

Title: ACR MAKING EMER LNDG DUE TO FIRE LIGHT AND ENG SHUT DOWN HAS WHEELS LOCK WHEN STOPPING.
Narrative: DURING CLBOUT OF RNO ON RWY 16L, AT 7700 FT, THE #3 ENG FIRE LIGHT CAME ON. EMER CHKLIST WAS ACCOMPLISHED AND ENG SHUTDOWN. WE CLBED TO 8500 FT, CALLED TWR, DECLARED EMER AND REQUESTED FIRE EQUIP ON THE GND. TWR VECTORED US AROUND FOR VISUAL DOWNWIND TO RWY 16L. I (FO) WAS FLYING. THE CAPT TOOK CTL ON FINAL AND LANDED ON SPD (BUG PLUS 10 KTS) IN THE 1ST 1000 FT. WE USED REVERSE THRUST AND SPD BRAKES AND NORMAL BRAKING. WE WERE GOING TO CLR THE RWY BUT AN ACFT WAS BLOCKING THE TURN OFF. SO WE STOPPED STRAIGHT AHEAD. FIRE DEPT LOOKED US OVER (ENG AND BRAKES) AND SAID WE LOOKED FINE. TWR DIRECTED US TO DO A 180 DEG ON RWY. AS WE PUSHED UP 1 AND 2 ENGS -- WE COULDN'T MOVE. WE INFORMED TWR AND CALLED OUR MAINT. WE CALLED OUR MAINT COORDINATOR IN ATL FOR ADVICE. THE #3 AND 4 WHEELS WERE LOCKED. WE COULD NOT USE A TUG FOR FEAR OF DAMAGING NOSE GEAR. SEVERAL HRS LATER, ACFT WAS JACKED UP, #3 WHEEL SPUN LOOSE, #4 WHEEL REMOVED AND TOWED TO THE GATE.
