"More than 20 units were dispatched and "found fire that was as tall as the trees," according to MDFR battalion chief Victoria Byrd. "On arrival, units found a fully engulfed house on fire, including a partial collapse of the roof," Byrd said in a video released by the fire department. "Units were able to quickly extinguish the fire; however, the fire took over control [of] most of the house. There were no reported injuries, no fatalities, and the fire is under investigation.""
"According to the fire department, no one was home during the fire. Spoelstra had coached the Heat in Denver on Wednesday night. The team's charter flight to Miami landed at 5:11 a.m. Thursday and Spoelstra arrived at the home soon after. Video footage shows Spoelstra walking around outside the property, at times holding his head in his hands in disbelief, as fire fighters worked to contain the flames."
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue received a call around 4:30 a.m. about a fire at a residence in Coral Gables. More than 20 units responded and found flames reaching tree height. Firefighters arrived to a fully engulfed house with a partial roof collapse and quickly extinguished the blaze, though most of the house was consumed. No injuries or fatalities were reported and the fire remains under investigation. No other nearby structures were affected. Spoelstra was not home; he had been coaching in Denver and returned on the team's charter flight, arriving soon after firefighters contained the fire.
