Fire at Dolphins star’s Southwest Ranches home – NBC 6 South Florida

Firefighters were battling a massive fire at the South Florida home of Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill on Wednesday afternoon.

The fire broke out at the home in the 16000 block of Berkshire Court in a gated community in Southwest Ranches.

Aerial footage from Chopper 6 showed heavy smoke coming from the mansion as crews poured water onto it and firefighters cut holes into sections of the roof.

Crews were working to put out a fire at Tyreek Hill’s home in Southwest Ranches Wednesday.

A large amount of firefighters and police from multiple nearby agencies responded to the scene.

Hill, the Dolphins’ star wide receiver, was at practice with the team Wednesday and not at the home when it broke out.

A Dolphins spokesperson said Hill had left practice and said everyone who was in the home at the time was safe.

Footage showed Hill, wearing a white T-shirt, dark sweatpants and a boot on his left foot, arriving back at the home and hugging family members.

The fire appeared to be extinguished by around 3 p.m., though a large hole could be seen on one portion of the roof.

Property records showed Hill purchased the mansion in 2022 for $6.9 million.

The 9,300-square-foot home features seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a home theater, a full-size basketball court, a massive pool and two guest houses.

Hill, 29, was traded from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Dolphins in 2022 and signed a four-year contract extension worth a reported $120 million.

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa told reporters he learned of the fire after practice and after Hill had left.

“The main thing is his family is safe, his loved ones are good, he’s good as well,” Tagovailoa said. “I’m just glad that a lot of his family members are safe…We’re thinking of them, hoping that everyone is good.”
