A massive fire broke out early Thursday, Nov. 6 reportedly at the home of Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, local fire officials said.

Firefighters responded to a multi-million dollar home for a report of a house fire in the 4800 block of Davis Road near Ponce De Leon at about 4:36 a.m. ET, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue confirmed to USA TODAY.

As of about 9 a.m., crews remained on scene, a fire dispatcher said, and no injuries had been reported. The home was unoccupied at the time of the fire and the cause is under investigation.

Miami-Dade fire Battalion Chief Victoria Byrd said arriving crews found two structures on the property fully engulfed in flames. Due to privacy walls, Byrd said it was difficult to access the scene.

"We found a fire that was as tall as the trees," Byrd said.
