Borrego Springs Fire Tragedy: A Community in Need


Yesterday, Borrego Springs faced a devastating fire outbreak, displacing local families and destroying property. Among the affected were John and Pam Sherrill, who lost everything, including their cell phones, making it difficult for them to seek help. Their neighbors, Cesar Garcia and Alyssa, also suffered significant losses.


The Borrego Ministers Association (BMA) is stepping in to provide immediate relief and long-term support for these families. Currently, the Sherrills are in a motel, while other community members have offered temporary housing solutions, including a small apartment and a trailer. The BMA will work closely with both families to determine their needs moving forward.
