Having supportive neighbors is important during a crisis, and the Miami Dolphins' Tyreek Hill experienced a crisis on Wednesday when his house caught on fire.
One of Hill's neighbors in his gated Southwest Ranches community in South Florida? Rapper Rick Ross, who filmed himself near Hill's house as the fire raged and firefighters swarmed the area. Ross told the camera he thought the fire must have been started by an electrical problem because the smoke was getting "thicker and thicker" despite the presence of fire trucks.
"More and more helicopters. Little brother going to have to build a new crib. It's all good though," Ross said. "Spent 10 on this one. He'll build another one, you feel me? Live it up."

Property records show Hill bought the house for $6.9 million in 2022. Firefighters told WTVJ in Miami the fire was limited to the attic and roof and that it was too soon to determine a cause.
The good news: Everyone got out of the house safely, including family members and pets, and Hill left practice early to be with his family.

Ross said he talked to firefighters as well to check on his neighbors' status.
"God is great," Ross said. "It's unfortunate the house caught on fire across the street, but I checked with the firefighters. There's no one that was injured, everybody was out of the house, fire is under control. God bless the homie, you already know."
Ross also had food delivery on the way, but his priorities were in order.
"I had some Wingstop wings on the way being delivered, but, as you can see, it was a minor fire over at Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill's crib. It's right across the street from one of my cribs. I ain't tripping as long as everybody's safe," Ross said.
He went on: "That's more important than my lemon pepper wings and my ranch dressing, my roasted corn. Trust me. As you can see, everything is under control."
Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told WTVJ that his client was "grateful" to the firefighters and that Hill and his family were handling the difficult situation "with much poise as you can hope."
Additionally, Rosenhaus told CBS that the fire was limited to one room.
"Of course, there will be other damage, but Tyreek is going to be back with his teammates," Rosenhaus told WFOR in Miami. "He obviously raced over to make sure everyone is OK, but everything is under control right now."
Hill was spotted at the scene wearing a boot. He was listed as questionable for the Dolphins' season finale against the Buffalo Bills because of an ankle injury. But despite the injury (and the fire), Rosenhaus told WFOR Hill is expected to play on Sunday as the Dolphins look to clinch the AFC East and home-field advantage in the first round.
At practice, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa told reporters the team is just glad there were no injuries.
"The main thing is his family is safe, his loved ones are good, he's good as well," Tagovailoa said.
