What I found really unexpected, that report says

During landing, the brake set overheated, which started the fire on the wheels of the
main right and left landing gears. The Fire Section carried out the fire fighting, which was controlled in 4 minutes. From the beginning of the fire extinguishing to cooling the set of brakes, 65,700 liters of water and 780 liters of Foam Generating Liquid (LGE) have been spent.
that's 65 tons of water to control the wheel fire. Seems quite a bit more than I would expect.
