Not completely unexpected after a heavy, single-engine landing. Depending on the crosswind, differential braking may be required for directional control if both the crosswind and inoperative engine are pushing the nose in the same direction.
The airplanes are built to handle brake fires with minimal damage. Usually, they just replace the tires and brakes, inspect the rest of the gear area, and it's ready to go. Could be six hours, or less, if no other damage.
