During a 180deg turn at the beginning of runway 27 the No.11 tire (on the right hand main gear) failed. During take-off the no.12 tire also failed. Wheels and braking assembly then started rubbing the runway, causing a fire. The take-off was aborted.
Initial delay in shutting down the engines and an improper deployment of fire services caused the fire to spread.
