Narrative:
In cruise flight we got the master red warning of brake overheat. We complied [with] the procedure in our [operations manual] and after we completed the task all went back to normal. As a precaution we asked for the longer runway so we didn't have to use the brakes and asked for the fire trucks so after we landed they could do a visual inspection to see if there was anything unusual. Overall it was a normal flight and the left outboard brake didn't seem to have anything wrong with it. I didn't see it necessary at the time to declare an emergency because the problem went away. We just wanted the fire crew there; and the longer runway; in case there was a 'what if' after landing.
