Narrative:
Flight cleared to land on runway 30 at mia. Normal landing, normal stop. Tower reported hot brakes. We asked tower which side hot brakes were on. They said both sides. As a precaution aircraft was evacuated on high speed turn off. No passenger or crew members injured. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following: when mechanics arrived at aircraft checked brakes and they were not hot. Check revealed aircraft had maintenance night before on brakes and either excessive hydraulic fluid was left on brakes and/or fittings were not tight and when brake pressure applied hydraulic fluid squirted on brakes causing dense white cloud at both medium large transport which tower thought indicated hot brakes.

Title: ACR MLG WITH REPORTED HOT BRAKES FROM TWR MADE EMERGENCY EVACUATION OF ACFT AFTER ROLLOUT ON LNDG.
Narrative: FLT CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 30 AT MIA. NORMAL LNDG, NORMAL STOP. TWR RPTED HOT BRAKES. WE ASKED TWR WHICH SIDE HOT BRAKES WERE ON. THEY SAID BOTH SIDES. AS A PRECAUTION ACFT WAS EVACUATED ON HIGH SPD TURN OFF. NO PAX OR CREW MEMBERS INJURED. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: WHEN MECHS ARRIVED AT ACFT CHKED BRAKES AND THEY WERE NOT HOT. CHK REVEALED ACFT HAD MAINT NIGHT BEFORE ON BRAKES AND EITHER EXCESSIVE HYD FLUID WAS LEFT ON BRAKES AND/OR FITTINGS WERE NOT TIGHT AND WHEN BRAKE PRESSURE APPLIED HYD FLUID SQUIRTED ON BRAKES CAUSING DENSE WHITE CLOUD AT BOTH MLG WHICH TWR THOUGHT INDICATED HOT BRAKES.
