Though not a consideration pre T/O, had the A/C overrun on concrete or Asphalt, the likelihood of Fuel ignition is far higher than not. There was no fire post landing re: BA038, (though of course far less fuel left to burn). Since we're all talking post incident, it is fortunate the A/C launched on the "shorter" runway. (IMO).
