Miami Warmth coach Erik Spoelstra’s residence in an prosperous South Florida neighborhood was destroyed by an enormous blaze early Thursday when the residence was empty.
On the time of publication, the hearth had been extinguished by the greater than 20 Miami-Dade Fireplace Rescue models dispatched to the COral Gables residence after receiving a name at 4:36 a.m., the division confirmed in a launch. No accidents have been reported and the reason for the hearth is being investigated.
Two constructions on the 5,700-square-foot property — which the Miami Herald has described as having 5 bedrooms, a pool and tennis courts — have been “fully involved” by the point the MDFR arrived.

They upgraded the decision to a second-alarm hearth, as they have been in want of extra help. In the end, MDFR “switched to a defensive attack” because the property sustained a “partial collapse.” They remained on scene after placing out the hearth to verify for decent spots.
“We found fire that was as tall as the trees,” mentioned MDFR Battalion Chief Victoria Byrd, per the Herald.
The Warmth, and Spoelstra, returned to Miami at 5 a.m. — shortly after the decision to authorities — from Denver, the place they’d misplaced to the Nuggets 122-112 Wednesday.
