Had an LOE on my first flight out of ATL this am. Right eng oil filter light on status page on taxi out which we reset. Then at cruise ATL Center says "DAL xxxx ATL tower says there was a lot of tire debris on the runway after you got airborne". Hmmm, ok, call dispatch, they know nothing about it. So we set up for a straight in 36R in MCO, and ask for the Fire Dept to standby and check the gear as we plan a full stop on the runway. So we stop and the Fire Chief says all a ok. Then I wonder, Hmmm, who was the poor soul who blew a tire that they didn't notify?
