I wonder what it takes to be labelled an expert by the press?? That article is just rubbish, fuel on the Tarmac from a refuelling spill LOL. Any unusual heat would have been detected by sensors a long time before takeoff.

The photo linked in Roberts post (https://mobile.twitter.com/starflyer...rc=twsrc%5Etfw) seems to indicate no ground damage, I suspect the fire was fed by fuel from a damaged line after the engine tore itself apart.
