Most of my experience being with large, heavy cargo aircraft. I do not think I have parked one that did not have several smoking breaks. There is no reason to expect a fire, stay off the brakes as much as possible, get to the gate. The worst common case is a thermally deflated tire and it is much better to change on a gate than blocking a taxi-way.
