Fire officials are blaming a house fire in a home on an unexpected culprit: a crystal ball. On March 8, 2021, around 4 p.m. in Delton, Wisconsin, the owner came home to find heavy smoke billowing through the house and called 911. First responders quickly put out the fire, which they said was restricted to the home’s living room. A statement from the Delton Fire Department said the source of the fire was a crystal ball in the living room, and the estimated cost of the damage to the house was $250,000. It is not known if the homeowners had insurance. Neither of the occupants of the home, nor the responders, were injured in the blaze. Fire officials posted details of what occurred on their official Facebook page. According to the department: The full statement: The statement also included pictures of what appeared to be a largely intact crystal ball surrounded by the wreckage of a burned living room. Given that the source of the fire was confirmed by the fire department in an official statement, along with a warning of how to protect against similar fires from occurring, we rate this claim as True.
