Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra’s home caught fire early Thursday morning in South Miami-Dade, prompting a massive response from first responders near Coral Gables.
Records obtained by CBS News Miami confirm the property belongs to Spoelstra, who was seen outside the home as firefighters battled the blaze.
According to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, the call came in around 4:30 a.m. at the home on the 4800 block of SW 80th Street. Firefighters were still seen battling hot spots around 8:30 a.m.
When firefighters got to the scene, there were two structures on the property “fully involved” by the flames, MDFR said. The call was then upgraded to a second alarm for more manpower. MDFR said 20 units responded to the fire due to its size. The privacy wall and tall trees surrounding the home also made it difficult to get to the fire, MDFR said, with only one point of entry.

MDFR said that due to a partial collapse, firefighters switched to a defensive attack and continued to extinguish the flames.
No injuries have been reported, MDFR said.
CBS News Miami has reached out to the Miami Heat for comment. The Heat played a game against the Denver Nuggets last night in Denver.
Spoelstra, who has been with the Miami Heat organization since 1995 and has served as head coach since 2008, has led the team to multiple NBA Finals appearances and two championships.
