There were no immediate reports of any injuries.

Miami-Dade County fire officials said the blaze was reported around 4:36 a.m. Spoelstra arrived at the scene shortly after the plane landed. Cameras showed Spoelstra pulling up to the house and looking distraught, according to WSVN-TV in Miami.

Firefighters were initially focusing on the garage of the multimillion-dollar home before the flames started to spread across the property.

Neighbors told WSVN-TV the home was undergoing renovations before it caught on fire.

Officials have yet to say what may have caused the inferno. Firefighters were battling the blaze well into the mid-morning but officials said the blaze was contained.

Property records show that Spoelstra bought the five-bedroom, six-bathroom home in December 2023. He agreed to a $120 million contract extension with the Heat in January 2024.
