Firefighters battle a blaze at the Southwest Ranches home of Tyreek Hill. NBC MiamiHill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus told reporters that some family members were home at the time of the fire.
“He and his family are safe,” Rosenhaus said. “No one was injured No. 1, no pets, so for that, we’re very grateful. We’re very grateful to the firefighters that put the fire out. Thankfully, the fire was contained to a limited area in the home. Obviously, there’ll be some smoke and water damage. It’s very difficult for anybody obviously to have your home catch on fire, but Tyreek was handling it, he and his family, with as much poise as you could hope.”
Rosenhaus said Hill will not comment at this time, that the cause remains under investigation and that it was largely contained to one room.
