I'm callling BS on this! Anything to do with the brake parts that get hot are in the wheel cavity. The only parts that are visible are the cylinder/pistons and the temp probe. Those are the cold parts of the brake assembly.

This is unless you are talking about the mech's breaks, as in coffee. And then, I hate to tell you, wasn't water that was being applied to your brakes, but another human generated liquid.
