After parking and running checklists; we had a brake temp light and one of the brakes was at 7. We wrote up the hot brakes and were reviewing the book for additional information/actions when ground personnel called the cockpit. We were advised they had seen a small fire on the hot brake and had used an extinguisher on it. Ground said no indications of fire remained.
After a normal landing we had a short taxi to our gate. After block in we wrote up Hot Brakes since we had a Brake Temp light. After block in the Ramp called us and told us we had a brake fire; and they used a fire extinguisher to put out fire. I never saw the fire; and think there was a smoking brake only.
B767-300 flight crew reports a brake temperature warning for one brake (7) after parking and makes a logbook entry. They are subsequently informed by ground personnel that a fire was detected and a fire extinguisher was used.
