Pre-Dawn Fire Heavily Damages Erik Spoelstra’s Miami Home

Firefighters contained the blaze after a second-alarm response and investigators are working to determine the cause.

Overview

  • Miami-Dade Fire Rescue received the call around 4:36 a.m. and arrived to find two structures on the property fully involved with a partial collapse.
  • Crews shifted to a defensive attack, deploying more than 20 units, including aerial and hazardous-materials teams, to keep the fire contained to the property.
  • No injuries were reported and no neighboring homes were damaged, officials said.
  • Spoelstra was not home; he arrived at the scene shortly after the Heat’s charter landed from Denver just after 5 a.m., according to local reports.
  • Officials described the residence as heavily damaged with large sections collapsed; the cause remains under investigation, and records show Spoelstra purchased the five-bedroom, six-bath home in December 2023 as neighbors noted ongoing renovations.
