I think it's a constructive conversation to have. No one here, at least those of us commenting on it, have any inside baseball. It's always good to get different perspectives because there is a lot of experience. What I disagree with are people who hear the word fire and then plug their ears and say there is only one correct action, to evacuate.

I have.
While the discussion is a worthwhile one to have, second guessing a decision is not.

Thats fine. It’s a judgement call, which we have all trained for for years, decades actually. In the absence of an obviously poor decision, I think it’s extremely poor form to armchair quarterback a judgement call. None of us were there, and I will always give the benefit of the doubt to the Captain who was.

I'll ask again, do we have any case studies where an airliner was engulfed in flames within 3 minutes from a brake fire?
After every abnormal I 2nd guess myself. I replay the situation and think of lessons learned and what I could have done better. Every professional aviator is always learning. That's why constructive discussions like this is great

The discussion is about a simple brake fire.
AA383 was an uncontained engine failure in which the wing fuel tank was pierced spilling fuel engulfing the wing in fire. The smoke and fire were so significant the Flight Attendants initiated evacuation before direction from the Captain.

I’m curious when and how you know if/when simple becomes something not simple.
