Narrative:

During our roll down the runway I heard a thumping sound from the landing gear. We took off and began a slow ascent which is unusual. Approximately 3-4 mins after takeoff the landing gear was raised. A few mins later the captain informed the flight attendant that we blew a tire on takeoff, we would have to circle a while and dump fuel and we must prepare for an emergency landing. We completely secured the cabin, then completed our emergency checklists and prepared. We landed without incident.
