Narrative:
Aircraft X was given takeoff clearance and upon takeoff roll reported an aborted takeoff due to possible bird strike. After exiting the active runway they stopped to do a systems check and aircraft evaluation. They then requested that the fire department follow them to the gate in case of possible hot brakes. I alerted the fire department and they followed the aircraft toward the gate. At that time the fire chief advised that the aircraft needed to be evaluated before they could be allowed to go to the gate. I gave them a holding area on an unused taxiway. At that time it was determined that it was a hot brakes situation and the county declared it an alert 2 situation. Fire trucks were already on scene. Visual inspection by fire department personnel also discovered engine damage from the bird strike. After the brakes had cooled enough the aircraft taxied to the gate. No onboard injuries were reported. Alert 2 was canceled by county upon aircraft reaching the gate.
