Child playing with lighter caused blaze at Tyreek Hill's mansion

[January 05, 2024]  Hill was at the team facility when firefighters were called to the gated community in Southwest Ranches, Fla., as other family members evacuated to monitor from the street.
 
The seven-bedroom, 8.5-bathroom home was purchased in May 2022 for $6.9 million.

Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said the property suffered extensive water and smoke damage.

The Dolphins are playing at home in the final game of the regular season on Sunday with a chance to win the AFC East division for the first time since 2008.

Hill already has a career-high, NFL-leading and franchise-record 1,717 receiving yards this season to become the first player in NFL history to record 1,700-plus receiving yards in multiple seasons.

"He is going to be fine physically, mentally this is challenging," Rosenhaus told NBC Miami.
