A massive fire broke out at a home belonging to Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on Thursday.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to a call of a house fire at 4:36 a.m. Thursday morning in Coral Gables, Fla. According to NBC 6 South Florida, the home is registered to Spoelstra.
Firefighters arrived to find “two structures on the property fully involved” and a partial collapse. That led to what is called a “defensive attack,” which means the goal is to protect nearby structures and contain the fire rather than trying to extinguish it from within.
Footage that was captured by NBC 6 showed the blaze.
