Narrative:

Captain's landing in a 767-300; dry runway; [and] light winds down the runway with a landing weight of approximately 295;000 and ref plus 30 of 139 KTS. Touched down on speed with spoilers auto deploying; auto brakes were set at 2 and thrust reverser deployed at touchdown. All systems seemed to be working fine. Rolled to end of runway and turned around and taxied back on runway to enter ramp at taxiway C. All seemed normal until station manager asked if there was a problem with the aircraft. He said a ground crew had to use an extinguisher on the #6 main brake assembly due to a small fire. Fire was easily extinguished and once looked at closely saw that there was a small continuous hydraulic leak at brake #6 and this coming in contact with brake #6 had caused the fire. To accelerate the cooling down time so maintenance could determine their course of action; forced cool air was blown on brake #6 assembly and once it was cool; airport fire crews washed off the residual fire extinguisher powder. After this contract maintenance further inspected brake #6 and determined that the braking system was fine except for the leak. Contract maintenance and company agreed that the brake line could be plugged according to MEL and flown back. Due to lack of plug and approaching crew duty day all crew members were sent to hotel. Runway conditions were dry and winds down the runway. Aircraft was flown on speed and touched down in speed with spoilers; auto brakes 2 and thrust reversers used. All systems worked fine except for what we know now was a leak in the #6 brake assembly. A good job was done by an aware ground crew to extinguish the fire early avoiding any further damage. [We] flew aircraft back next morning with no problem.
