Fire officials in Florida have revealed the cause of the fire that broke out on Wednesday at the home of Miami Dolphins All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

Davis Fire Rescue ruled the fire as an "unintentional, accidental" event that was sparked by a child who was playing with a lighter inside the home. 

Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire shortly after arriving at the mansion located in Southwest Ranches on Wednesday afternoon. Southwest Ranches is located around 23 miles west of Fort Lauderdale.

Hill was seen leaving Dolphins practice after he learned about the two-alarm fire. Video from WSVN-TV later showed him outside the house with a walking boot. The 29-year-old continues to nurse a lingering ankle injury he suffered during a game.

The Dolphins said in a statement no one was injured as a result of the fire.

"Tyreek has been in communication with his family. Everyone is out of the house and safe at this time. He has also left practice to deal with the situation."

Hill's longtime agent, Drew Rosenhaus, also released a statement saying that Hill was in good spirits.
