Narrative

AFTER A NORMAL LNDG WE HEARD A GRINDING NOISE OR LOW PITCHED SQUEAL DURING ROLLOUT. THE SOUND QUIT AFTER SLOWING TO TAXI SPD. THE CAPT TOOK THE ACFT TO TAXI AFTER TURNING OFF THE RWY. HE SAID IT WAS TAKING MORE THAN NORMAL PWR AND THAT IT FELT AS IF WE HAD A BLOWN TIRE. WE STOPPED THE ACFT. THE R INBOARD BRAKE TEMP WAS IN THE YELLOW ARC. WE CONTACTED GND TO HAVE SOMEONE CHK OUT THE R GEAR AND BRAKES. I OPENED THE WINDOW AND LOOKED AT THE GEAR. EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL. I SAT BACK DOWN AND WENT TO CONTACT OPS AS TO POSSIBLY NEEDING STAIRS AND MAINT TO LOOK US OVER. WE THEN NOTICED SMOKE. I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND SAW A FIRE BTWN THE 2 WHEELS AND FLUID LEAKING FROM BRAKE AREA. CAPT CALLED FOR GND EVAC; WE COMPLETED THE GND EVAC CHKLIST AND LEFT THE ACFT. THE FLT ATTENDANTS DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB GETTING THE PAX OFF OF THE ACFT IN JUST OVER 1 MIN. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. IT DID TAKE OVER 30 MINS TO GET TRANSPORT FOR THE PAX TO CUSTOMS. GOING DOWN THE SLIDE I NOTICED A STRAP APPROX 1/3 OF THE WAY DOWN THAT COULD CAUSE AN INJURY IF SOMEONE'S LEG GOT CAUGHT IN IT. THIS SHOULD BE CHKED OUT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THIS FLC SAID THAT ON TOUCHDOWN THE FO 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 ACFT WAS REPAIRED AND BACK IN SVC THE NEXT MORNING.
