My buddy, his wife and daughter was on that flight and he said 5 seconds after take off roll began, there was a fire in the engine and they aborted take off.

You're right. My name is fitting.
The flameout happened very early in the takeoff run. No danger to the pax. The aircraft taxied back to the gate with fire engines in tow. Pax and baggage were offloaded.
They must have fixed the engine because the plane left Houston a few minutes ago. Not sure if there are passengers onboard or if they were rebooked on other flights.
According to acars aircraft was 9V-SWT.
