Based on statements gathered from witnesses at the scene, thick smoke followed by flames was first seen coming from inside the church, burning the roof and walls of the building.
Strong winds blowing from the east caused the fire to spread rapidly, engulfing the entire church building, which was constructed mainly of wood.
Church officials stated that the fire was strongly suspected to have originated from a candle lit in front of the altar for prayer, which was accidentally left burning.
