Fire Erupts at Michigan Wolverines Football Head Coach Sherrone Moore’s House
A fire broke out at the home of Michigan Wolverines football head coach Sherrone Moore early Thursday morning, authorities confirmed. The fire, which reportedly started in the kitchen area of the home, caused significant damage but fortunately resulted in no injuries.
Firefighters were called to the scene around 5 a.m. after receiving multiple reports of smoke coming from the residence. Upon arrival, crews quickly contained the blaze and worked to extinguish the flames. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, though officials have stated that it appears to have been accidental.
Moore, who has been serving as Michigan’s offensive coordinator and interim head coach, was not at home at the time of the incident. His family, including his wife and children, were also unharmed, as they were reportedly out of the house when the fire started.
“We are grateful that everyone is safe,” Moore said in a brief statement following the incident. “Our family is thankful for the quick response of the firefighters, and we are now focusing on the recovery and repair of our home.”
Local authorities confirmed that no other properties were affected by the fire, and there were no reports of injuries to firefighters or neighbors. The Michigan Wolverines football team has rallied behind Moore, with several players and staff members expressing support for their coach during this challenging time.
The fire comes at a particularly busy time for the Michigan football program, as the team prepares for its upcoming games. While the incident has caused some disruption, Moore has expressed confidence in his ability to balance personal challenges with his professional responsibilities.
Further details about the cause of the fire and any ongoing repairs will be released as the investigation continues.
