...but the pilot was concerned about his brakes and then the brakes did over heat and went on fire right hand side 1st then left side...
If accurate, sounds like a considerably overweight landing due to the emergency. It takes a lot to overheat the brakes on the 777, especially on a cold day near sea level.
