Narrative:

The captain flew an uneventful visual approach in an ATR 72 to dfw. The runway was damp and, upon landing, the aircraft decelerated rapidly. Clearing the runway we noticed a hot brake caution light. Turning onto the inside taxiway, the captain said he thought we had a tire problem. We were then notified that our right tire was on fire. We then had an uneventful ground egress.
