An A300 flight crew elected to land on runway 3 at abq with a 10 KT tailwind component. After an uneventful landing the left side brake temperatures began to climb and upon reaching the gate the #5 brake cooling fan failed and an associated fuse plug blew out; requiring the tire to be replaced.

Narrative:
We landed at abq on runway 3 with a 10 knot tailwind component. Stable approach and touchdown in the touchdown zone. Normal deceleration and cleared the runway at taxiway C. Taxiing in left brake temps rose aggressively and right brakes were less then 70. We turned the fans on and informed operations of hot brakes on the left side. During unloading/loading the brakes cooled below 300 but several minutes later the # 5 brake started climbing again and maintenance reported the fuse plug blew and the #5 fan had failed.
