Axle fires might not be so usual in my country because heavy-duty truck drivers here are often reminded to use exhaust-brakes while going downhill. There are even some "use freio-motor" signs at roadsides. Not sure if most trucks having air brakes instead of hydraulic also decrease the likelihood of an axle fire.

I also prefer a lever on the center tunnel for the e-brake. Also tried to use the e-brake instead of the brake pedal once, as the traffic was too slow for me to quickly move my right foot from the accelerator to the brake (not to mention it had manual transmission, so the left foot was on the clutch pedal).
