could be a replay of what happened to the Concorde way back when...some debris on the runway struck the wing/gear and started a fire during takeoff...

Excellent point. For my understanding, UPS has a fairly good safety record. Their last fatal crash was in 2013, due to pilot fatigue. They’ve had other emergencies that resulted in the loss of an aircraft, but that was due to a fire in the cargo hold and as best as I can tell, all the aircraft landed at the airport in the pilots escaped before the plane burned.
