I'll point this quote out to you ref brake fires:

"During these types of incidents, a small wheel and brake fire has the potential to destroy and totally consume the entire aircraft should the heat and flames cause catastrophic failure of the wing fuel tank assembly."

You seem to think that in 3 minutes you'll be ok. Maybe, maybe not. That's a big gamble with lives in the back. If I'm told I'm on fire, we are evacuating. I've made that decision here at 0 knots - not as the SHTF. Our FA's are well trained. We'll get the people out. I'll take a sprained ankle over charred bodies any day.
