Narrative:

During the ground roll, just called 'power set' when another pilot reported 'your right main gear is on fire.' captain immediately retarded throttles, applied brakes and deployed reversers. The aircraft began to veer to the left, so he thought the reversers did not deploy evenly so he stowed them. The aircraft continued to veer to the left and we departed the runway before the 500 ft hash marks. The captain immediately called for the shutdown checklist, then instructed me to open the door. He called tower and reported to them that we were all right, and asked for the fire truck. I did a brief walkaround and determined the fire was put out by the right main gear being stuck in the wet soil.
