What about if you have "Hot brakes".
Do you still wait 5 mins. before turning the fans on?

Some years back one of our A300s had a "Hot brake" warning while taxiing out at Edinburgh due to a dragging brake. The FE turned the fans on and the brake unit then caught fire.
Fortunately they were outside the fire station at the time and things were dealt with very quickly.
