Narrative:

After a normal landing we heard a grinding noise or low pitched squeal during rollout. The sound quit after slowing to taxi speed. The captain took the aircraft to taxi after turning off the runway. He said it was taking more than normal power and that it felt as if we had a blown tire. We stopped the aircraft. The right inboard brake temperature was in the yellow arc. We contacted ground to have someone check out the right gear and brakes. I opened the window and looked at the gear. Everything looked normal. I sat back down and went to contact operations as to possibly needing stairs and maintenance to look us over. We then noticed smoke. I looked out the window and saw a fire between the 2 wheels and fluid leaking from brake area. Captain called for ground evacuate/evacuation, we completed the ground evacuate/evacuation checklist and left the aircraft. The flight attendants did an outstanding job getting the passenger off of the aircraft in just over 1 min. There were no injuries. It did take over 30 mins to get transport for the passenger to customs. Going down the slide I noticed a strap approximately 1/3 of the way down that could cause an injury if someone's leg got caught in it. This should be checked out. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: this flight crew said that on touchdown the first officer heard a metallic squeal as the wheels spun up. This is quite unusual for the F-100 and yet the rollout seemed normal. The taxi in was not, of course. The aircraft was repaired and back in service the next morning.
