A devastating plane crash has claimed the lives of Alexander Wurm, 53, founder of the Christian ministry Ignite the Fire, and his daughter Serena, 22. The duo was on a humanitarian mission to deliver aid to Jamaica, which was ravaged by Hurricane Melissa. The Beechcraft King Air plane they were piloting crashed into a pond in a residential area of Coral Springs, Florida, narrowly avoiding nearby homes. According to Ignite the Fire, the organization is dedicated to empowering young people through missions and evangelism in the Caribbean. The Wurm family was deeply committed to humanitarian efforts and their Christian beliefs. Their tragic loss serves as a poignant reminder of the selflessness and bravery that defines their work. The plane crashed shortly after taking off from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport on Monday morning. Police and fire rescue teams arrived at the scene within minutes, but unfortunately, it was too late to save the victims. The community in Broward County, which has a strong Caribbean American presence, had been mobilizing to gather relief supplies for those affected by Hurricane Melissa. Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica on October 28, causing widespread destruction and devastation. The storm also had a significant impact on Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic, prompting relief organizations to take action. The outpouring of support from the community is a testament to the Wurm family's dedication to serving others, even in the face of tragedy.
