As the world welcomed 2018, celebrating the New Year’s Eve with loads of fun and fervour, not all merriment ended on a good note. In a shocking incident, the New Year celebrations on December 31 night in a city in Russia turned gloomy as the fireworks from the festivities started a huge fire and that too, on a Christmas tree.
The main Christmas tree on Russia’s largest island, Sakhalin, burned in flames in a light show, leaving just a huge metal frame after the 25m tree caught fire on Lenin Square in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, according to a report by The Siberian Times.
Even though firefighters were called upon, the plastic tree with inflammable ornaments was gutted in no time as the celebrations went wrong.
