B737 smoking brakes scenario

What would you do if you are taxiing after landing in a 737 and the Tower inform you you have smoke coming from one of you main wheels?
My inclination would be to stop but not set the brakes if that is possible, and to ask for Rescue Fire Services to inspect the aircraft. If Rescue Fire confirm that it is smoke from the brakes and no flames sighted I would arrange to taxi onto a stand-off bay and disembark using stairs while the Fire Tender hovered nearby.
Can anyone poke any holes in that?
