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.
Thanks. Curious if the 767-300 hydraulic systems are similar to the 757. I.e. if one of the engines are shut down it would affect brake thrust reverse spoilers etc depending on the engine and system.
