KORONADAL CITY — Two fires broke out here before dawn Wednesday, razing a church and five houses.

The first fire started at the dirty kitchen of the Christian Brethren Church along Suscano St. around 1:45 a.m., said Fire Officer Joriel Rodel of the city fire office.

Elmo Caday, the church’s caretaker, told reporters he desperately tried but failed to put off the fire, which also engulfed the church before spreading and consuming two nearby houses.
