A massive fire broke out at the South Florida home of Miami Dolphins Tyreek Hill on Wednesday afternoon. The firefighters battled the massive fire.
The fire broke out shortly before 2 p.m. at the home in the 16000 block of Berkshire Court in a gated community in Southwest Ranches.
A large amount of firefighters and police from multiple nearby agencies responded to the scene including Davie Fire Rescue and Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue.
Davie Fire Rescue's Bob Taylor said the fire was limited to the attic and roof but said there was smoke damage in much of the house. It was too early to determine the cause of the fire.
Taylor said there were no injuries reported.
Hill, the Dolphins' star wide receiver, was at practice with the team on Wednesday and was not at home when it broke out.
A Dolphins spokesperson said Hill had left practice and said everyone who was at home at the time was safe.
The fire appeared to be extinguished by around 3 p.m., though a large hole could be seen on one portion of the roof.
Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said it was unknown whether the family could stay in the home Wednesday night but said Hill was thankful no one was injured.
Property records showed Hill purchased the mansion in 2022 for $6.9 million.
The 9,300-square-foot home features seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a home theater, a full-size basketball court, a massive pool and two guest houses.
An official with the Davie (Fla.) Fire Rescue Department told ESPN the cause of the fire was under investigation. The blaze was limited to the upper levels and roof of the home, the official said. Firefighters were shown in the aerial footage using chainsaws to cut holes in the roof and a firetruck crane to blast water into the mansion.
Emergency personnel and the Dolphins echoed Hill’s agent Rosenhaus’s statement that no one was harmed.
