The video appears to be of the fire crew spraying down the wheels of the aircraft, not the engine.
I also heard it could have been a hydraulic leak onto the hot brakes which ignited.

Had a similar brake fire once on an A330 just after parking on stand.
Turned out to be not hydraulic fluid but rather (excess) grease that caught fire.
And it showed delayrecovery during taxi in an A330 is a bad idea..
