Fire at Miami Home of Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra
Early Thursday morning, a two-alarm fire broke out at the multi-million dollar Miami-area residence of Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. The blaze erupted shortly after the team returned from a four-game road trip.
The Heat and Spoelstra arrived on a chartered flight from Denver around 5 a.m. ET, about 25 minutes after firefighters were dispatched to the coach's home in Miami-Dade.
The property, situated on a 43,000-square-foot lot, was sold for $6.6 million in 2023. The five-bedroom house features a pool and tennis courts.
Though the firefighters fought the fire for over four hours, no injuries were reported.
