Firefighters were called to extinguish a fire that broke out at the Florida home of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill on Wednesday afternoon.
The house, located in the Southwest Ranches area of South Florida, has repeatedly been shown via helicopter by local station WSVN 7 News with heavy smoke escaping from the roof. Hill was at Dolphins practice preparing for the regular-season finale against the Buffalo Bills when the fire broke out but was shown on news broadcasts arriving on the scene at about 3 p.m. ET.
Everyone made it out of the home safely, according to a Miami Dolphins spokesperson.

WSVN reported that the fire appeared to be largely doused by the time Hill made it home. Several holes have been created in the house's roof to assist in putting out what the Palm Beach Post is referring to as a two-alarm fire. Several fire engines and crews, as well as a large police presence, are on the scene. It is not immediately clear what caused the fire or the extent of the damage inside the residence.
Newsweek reached out to the Dolphins and representatives for Hill via email for comment.

News footage showed Hill—wearing a white T-shirt, dark sweat pants, and a boot on his left foot—hugging family members. One child was seen holding a cat.
Property records show Hill purchased his 9,300-square-foot mansion for $6.9 million in 2022 after being acquired by the Dolphins in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs. The home, on the gated 16000 block of Berkshire Court, was built in 2007, per CBS, and features seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a home theater, a full-sized basketball court, a pool and two guest houses, according to WSVN.
Hill signed a four-year, $120 million extension with Miami after being traded, and leads the NFL with a career-high 1,717 receiving yards this season in his second campaign with the Dolphins.
The seven-time Pro Bowler and former Super Bowl champion is scheduled to play against the Buffalo Bills in Miami at 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday.
