So far I've seen one report say the starboard wing struck the perimetre fence, one say that the wing touched down first when they landed, and now this:

The fire likely started when the wing scraped the runway, Interior Minister Carlos Basombrio said.

"The plane couldn't stop on the runway and they made a manoeuvre to stop it with the wing and that appears to have caused the fire," Basombrio told reporters on local broadcaster RPP.
I find it difficult to imagine the manoeuvre to stop a 737 with the wing, let alone the pilot who would attempt it...
