just found a little more info:

the 767-400 was clear for take-off on 27R and started speeding down the runway

it reached 150 knots when the number 1 engine(left) indicated overheated exhaust gas. (over 600 degrees?)

pilot rejected take off

tower instructed the pilot to taxi off the runway

ARFF found glowing hot brakes that caught fire... which they extinguished... as well as 4 flat tires on the main landing gears

pilot requested people movers, since the aircraft could not be towed or moved
