Early-Morning Fire Heavily Damages Home Owned by Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra

Spoelstra was traveling with the team at the time.

Overview

  • Miami-Dade Fire Rescue received a 4:36 a.m. call reporting a structure fire at a single-family residence in the 4800 block of SW 80th Street.
  • Video from the scene showed flames engulfing the property near Ponce and Davis roads, with sections of the residence destroyed.
  • The Heat’s charter landed in Miami at 5:11 a.m., and Spoelstra arrived at the property shortly afterward.
  • By around 8 a.m., crews had largely contained the blaze, and officials scheduled a briefing for later Thursday.
  • Authorities reported no immediate injuries, and records indicate Spoelstra purchased the five-bedroom, six-bath home in December 2023.
