Someone Tried to Burn New Haven Christmas Tree with Burning Bible

Posted on 13 December 2011 by Staff


Someone in Connecticut is not in the Christmas spirit.  Around midnight, firefighters were called to the scene, the New Haven Christmas tree, because there were reports of a fire.  The tree happened to be intact but underneath it was a Bible, on fire, on top of electrical cables.

The firefighters cut off power to the tree so that it would not be damaged.

The tree itself is a 65 foot tall Norway Spruce and had around 30,000 lights on it.

According to Department of Parks’ Director, Bob Levine:

New Haven’s holiday tree is enjoyed by thousands of visitors each year and it is unfortunate that it appears someone may have intentionally attempted to damage it.
