The fire that ripped through Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill's sprawling Florida home Wednesday was sparked by a child playing with a lighter, officials said Thursday.
Davie Fire Rescue Fire Marshal Robert Taylor said Thursday the blaze was ruled accidental and that it was caused by the child’s playing with the lighter in a bedroom. There were no injuries.
Firefighters were called around 1:55 p.m. at Hill’s home in Berkshire Court, a gated community in Southwest Ranches.
Taylor told NBC News on Wednesday that Hill wasn’t home when the fire started but that members of his family were and that they were able to evacuate safely before help arrived.
"Thankfully, it was called in quickly enough that we were able to get to it and aggressively be able to contain the fire to the area," he said.
