Overview
- Miami-Dade Fire Rescue received the call around 4:30–4:36 a.m. and dispatched more than 20 units, upgrading the incident to a second alarm that included a hazardous-materials response.
- Firefighters found two structures on the property fully involved, faced a partial collapse, and shifted to a defensive attack using aerial apparatus because access was limited by a privacy wall and dense tree cover.
- Authorities reported no injuries, confirmed the residence was unoccupied when the fire began, and said the blaze did not spread to neighboring homes.
- Spoelstra, returning from the Heat’s road game in Denver, arrived shortly after the team’s flight landed at 5:11 a.m. and was seen at the scene as crews worked.
- Property records show Spoelstra bought the five-bedroom home in December 2023, with neighbors noting recent renovation activity, and officials say the origin and cause remain under investigation.
