fuse plug question~

could anyone tell me the function of the fuse plug installed in the landing gears. the book says: radiated and conducted heat from the brake may cause a wheel fuse plug to melt to release air pressure from the tire safely.
what for?
to avoid the tire blowed and the debris hit the airframe to cause damage?
thanks~
