alphaflare,
I have read with interest the reponses to your question.
My opinion is that one should bring the aircraft to a stop on the runway in a very rapid manner as recommended by all manufacurers. If there is a problem with tires you will know soon enough and can adjust your reject procedure accordingly.
Once you have stopped , stow reverse thrust, set the park brake and evaluate the situation using all available resources. Then make a decision as to what you want to do.
Fire can burn through very qiuckly so if you need to evacuate do it as expiditiously as possible wasting no time for turns into wind, crosswind or any other way.
Stay in the middle of the runway and give the Fire/Rescue bunch a lot of space to work with.
best regards,
Bruce Waddington
