The flames were so intense that firefighters called a 5-alarm fire, a term used to describe dangerous fire situations that require extra personnel.

Footage from the scene showed multiple fire engines at the world-famous DJ's three-level mansion located in Beverly Hills.

The fire reportedly involved one of the upper floors, law enforcement told TMZ.

The call came through at around 8:25 pm and first responders were told that the smell of smoke was coming from inside the house, the news outlet reported.

A large number of law enforcement and fire crews were sent to Calvin's home, including 10 fire units and 20 first responders.

Witnesses in the area told TMZ that there were tons of ambulances, firetrucks, and even helicopters responding to the emergency.

One person told the outlet that there was smoke coming from the Summer hitmaker's roof.

Due to limited access, firefighters had to cut through the second-story roof to get to the fire, which was said to be coming from close to the theater room.

No one was injured and sources revealed that the flames were found near an HVAC system.

It's believed that the fire resulted from an electrical issue.

The blaze led to nearly $100,000 in damages and it took about 52 minutes for firefighters to get it out.

Calvin was not home at the time of the fire as he has been leasing the home for a few years.

The music star has reportedly been busy preparing for a huge residency deal in Las Vegas.

CALVIN'S BIG PLANS

In January, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed the superstar DJ is poised to sign a mini-residency deal with Fontainebleau’s LIV club.

And while he may not have liked Sin City the first time around, a massive pay check worth around $1.5 million a night has been put on the table to help sweeten the deal.

A source said, "Calvin is a legend on the strip and he’s helped make Las Vegas clubs the place to be.

“LIV are booking him in for six huge headline slots and are trying to negotiate more.

“Calvin signing up with them is an absolute coup and the plan is to put his first big night on the weekend the Super Bowl comes to town on February 11.

“Everyone on the club scene is talking about Calvin’s comeback.

“It’ll be the hottest ticket in town.”

However, Calvin previously admitted that playing in Vegas became a drag.

He said, "I was there at least every week, playing. It got to the point where I was there a little too much.

"I got tired of it. I didn’t make any tunes for a year or maybe a year and a half. The creative juices weren’t flowing."

Calvin has not yet commented on the fire at his mansion.
