US EditionLarge Fire Erupts at Miami Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra’s Home in Southwest Miami-Dade
- On Thursday, Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra's Southwest Miami‑Dade home was heavily damaged by a massive fire near Southwest 49th Avenue and 80th Street, with heavy flames captured before 6 a.m.
- Surrounded by trees and another house, the property layout made containment more difficult; neighbors said occupants moved in a few months ago and had done renovations, while property records show Spoelstra bought the five-bedroom, six-bathroom home in December 2023.
- Fire officials said more than 20 units responded, the call was upgraded to a second alarm, crews used two ladder trucks and initially focused on the garage while two structures were engulfed.
- Officials said there were no reported injuries and Spoelstra was not home when the fire began; Miami‑Dade County officials confirmed the fire was contained to Spoelstra's property, though much of the residence collapsed.
- Miami‑Dade Fire Rescue said the cause is under investigation and scheduled a news briefing for later Thursday; smoke lingered for more than three hours, reinforcements were required, and crews remained on site after containment.
