Large fire occurs at home registered to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, no injuries reported
The fire began in the early hours of Thursday morning

A home registered to Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra caught fire on Thursday morning and more than 100 fire fighters responded to the scene to extinguish the flames. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue reported that no injuries occurred but that the structure suffered catastrophic damage.
Around 4:30 a.m. local time, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue were called and responded to a large fire. Upon arrival, firefighters saw "two structures on the property fully involved" in the fire and described the flames "as tall as the trees," per NBC Miami. The team on site then called for backup. Battalion chief Victoria Byrd said twenty units, including a hazardous materials team, were at the property.
Part of the home collapsed, leading the rescue team to go into "defensive attack." The firefighters attacked the fire from the air and ground until it was extinguished.
"Due to the privacy wall and a lot of the tree cover, it was very difficult to access, with only one point of entry," Byrd said.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

Fire officials said "the home was unoccupied" when the fire began. The Heat were in Denver to face the Nuggets Wednesday to wrap up a four-game road trip. Their team plane landed around 5 a.m. local time on Thursday. Spoelstra went to his home after the team returned to Miami and was seen walking around outside the scene as fire officials worked to diminish the fire.
The fire did not spread to any other homes on the street.
