Burning tires and brakes are carefully accounted for during the design and certification of an aircraft. Usually it must look very bad imo before an evacuation with broken necks, backs and arms are a better option.

Unless there is a serious fire, do not let any liquids come in contact with the brakes. Especially not carbon brakes because the fumes can be lethal or cause life long lung diseases if inhaled.

That is a pretty serious statement about lethality or risk of life long lung disease. Would you have any published medical research documents to back up your assertion?
