All Boeing aircraft with the exception of the inherited MD-95 (717) have wheel well fire detection systems. Widebodies include brake temp monitoring.

717 & MD-90 - Brake Temp Monitoring - Gauge on MD-90

727, 737 & 757 - Wheel well fire detection system. No Brake Temp readout***

747-all models, 767 & 777 - Both wheel well fire detection system & Brake Temp Monitoring

No aircraft (Airbus or Boeing/McD) have wheel well fire suppression installed. Usual procedure is to hang your feet out to cool.

***An Option - see more enlightened posts below.
