Narrative:
On [takeoff]; we received a red takeoff configuration warning and associated master caution and audible aural warning horn. The captain elected to reject the takeoff. He maintained positive aircraft control on centerline throughout. I notified ATC of the abort. We taxied off the active runway and brought the aircraft to a stop. The captain and I checked all items in the cockpit that could have triggered the warning and affirmed that the aircraft had been fully and correctly configured for our takeoff.I coordinated with ATC for an immediate inspection for possible damage to the aircraft; with special attention to the wheels; brakes; landing gear. I ran the takeoff configuration checklist and reviewed the brake cooling charts in the performance inflight section of the QRH; noting and communicating to the captain the possibility of melted fuse plugs. In addition to the aircraft inspection; airport rescue and fire fighting personnel and equipment did a sweep of the runway and indicated that there was no evidence of tire failure; separation; or debris on the runway. Upon inspection of the aircraft; they communicated that there was no evidence of fire or smoke; but both left main landing gear tires were flat (possibly suggesting that the tire fuse plugs melted sometime after coming to a stop).
