Two fires broke out within roughly 75 minutes of each other and a little more than a mile apart Wednesday in Borrego Springs
, seriously damaging a home, destroying an outbuilding and blackening swaths of brushy terrain before crews could snuff out the flames. There were no immediate indications that the fires' origins were related, according to Mike Cornette, a captain with Cal Fire. The first of the blazes erupted about 3:20 p.m. in the area of Lazy S and Saint Vincent drives, a short distance north of Borrego Springs High School, according to Cal Fire.
It took ground crews and personnel aboard air tankers and water-dropping helicopters less than an hour to extinguish the flames, which briefly threatened about a half-dozen homes, gutted an auxiliary structure and spread over about 5 open acres, said Cornette. Shortly after 4:30 p.m., the second fire began spreading through a single-family home on Sun and Shadows Drive near Palm Canyon Drive, about six blocks south of the site of the previous blaze.
