Firefighters Battle Blaze at Tyreek Hill's Home

NFL star Tyreek Hill. The inferno, which broke out unexpectedly, posed a formidable challenge to these brave men and women who risked their lives to save both property and lives.

The fire started in the basement of Hill's luxurious mansion, rapidly spreading throughout the three-story structure. Thick plumes of smoke billowed into the night sky as flames licked at the windows, creating a scene reminiscent of an apocalyptic movie. Firefighters arrived swiftly on the scene, armed with hoses and determination.

A large amount of firefighters and police from multiple nearby agencies responded to the scene including Davie Fire Rescue and Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue.

Bob Taylor said the fire was limited to the attic and roof but said there was smoke damage in much of the house. It was too early to determine the cause of the fire, Taylor said.

Hill'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.”

Hill has been one of the NFL's most prolific performers this year, catching 112 passes for a league high 1,717 yards and 12 touchdowns. He's widely considered to be among the top candidates for the NFL's MVP award.

Tyreek and his family are handling it with as much poise as you can hope. He was grateful to the firefighters who saved his home,” Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told NBC South Florida at the scene.

The Dolphins are scheduled to play the final game of the NFL's regular season Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills. The winner will be crowned AFC East champion
