At this stage, we don't know. It could have been a fire resulting from a tire that was over-filled with Nitrogen and blew up, it could have been a fire resulting from a tire filled with Oxygen instead of Nitrogen, it could have been any number of things.

I submit that we will never know all the facts that NASA learns from this process, and that it will take NASA a long time to discover all the facts that they ultimately uncover. -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
