Thanks for the reply Bealzebub.
To take it further, if while taxiing to the standoff bay the Fire Rescue folk report seeing flames I am torn between two courses of action:

A) Set brakes to park and instruct the Fire Rescue personnel to extinguish the fire and wait a few moments for a report back as to weather it was easily extinguished. Or
B) Park the brakes and commence the evacuation checklist.

Normally in the case of fire I am geared towards evacuation but if it was grease on a brake unit and just a lick of flame and was contained within seconds I would hate to injure pax.
Curly one I know but I would like to know what others think.
