Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra's home caught fire early Thursday morning in South Miami-Dade, prompting a massive response from first responders near Coral Gables.

Records obtained by CBS News Miami confirm the property belongs to Spoelstra, who was seen outside the home as firefighters battled the blaze. 

According to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, the call came in around 4:30 a.m. at the home on the 4800 block of SW 80th Street. Firefighters were still battling hot spots around 8:30 a.m. 

When firefighters got to the scene, there were two structures on the property "fully involved" by the flames, MDFR said. The call was then upgraded to a second alarm for more manpower. MDFR said 20 units responded to the fire due to its size. The privacy wall and tall trees surrounding the home also made it difficult to get to the fire, MDFR said, with only one point of entry.

MDFR said that due to a partial collapse, firefighters switched to a defensive attack and continued to extinguish the flames.

No injuries have been reported, MDFR said.

"We found fire that was as tall as the trees," said Miami‑Dade Fire Rescue spokesperson Veronica Berg, noting the blaze was difficult to access.

Despite their efforts, the home was gutted, leaving behind charred wreckage.

A video posted by the Miami Heat earlier this season showed the team celebrating at Spoelstra's residence, underscoring the extent of the loss.

Neighbors and disaster‑relief crews gathered at the scene once the flames were out.

"They had just completed renovations recently," said insurance adjuster Robert Reina.

The Miami Heat declined to comment, confirming only that no one was inside the home. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Spoelstra, who returned from Denver after the Heat's game against the Nuggets, arrived at home about 30 minutes after the blaze began.
