The actual brake block may become red hot, emit smoke and vapour but does not burn. It is the oil/grease that makes the flames.

In this case, it is actually a case of brake binding. The Brake shoe has clamped onto the wheel and is stuck there. The revolving wheel has caused the brake shoe to go red hot and burn. Is this a composite block or cast iron?

The fire and smoke you see here is caused by a hot axle. Station staff, gatemen and the like are expected to be vigilant and report such matters (observed on passing trains) at the earliest possible.
