Firefighters battled a large house fire at the home of Miami Dolphins’ wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Fire Marshal Robert Taylor of the Davie Fire Rescue Department told ESPN that the cause of the fire was unclear. Hill, who won super bowl rings with the Kansas City Chiefs, is among the NFL’s most popular players and highest-paid players.
Nobody living at the 9,300-square-foot Berkshire Court house, located about 30 miles northwest of Miami, was harmed, according to Taylor. According to ESPN, Dolphins team official said Hill was made aware of the incident during Wednesday’s practice and left to attend to the matter.
Local station WSVN 7 News helicopters showed Hill arriving at the property just before 3 p.m. ET with his left foot in a walking boot. He could be seen embracing his wife, Keeta Vaccaro, whom he married last month, and his mother, Anesha Sanchez.
crews from Southwest Ranches and Broward County assisted with what officially was designated as a two-alarm fire. Crews were unable to enter the home to assess the damage, according to Taylor, who said they were waiting for the state fire marshal’s office to arrive and assist in the investigation.
