Where do fire crews check the temperature of the brakes?

Hi all,

In the case of an emergency involving heavy use of the brakes, the fire crew can check the brakes/gear. Some fire crew will have IR thermometers to check the heat emanating from the brake units. Where exactly would they check or would they be just scanning all over looking for hot spots?
