From the picture, looks like a fire on one of the wheels. I’m guessing something about the brakes. The article described it as a “hard landing”, so maybe something broke and jammed, then caught fire from friction.
Shit happens, especially with a lot of flights every day. Truck brakes catch fire sometimes too. This isn’t particularly unusual.
