Photos from the scene show the fire charred most of the Christmas tree that was decked out in red, white and blue ornaments and topped with a red star.

 

The flames also damaged three other nearby trees decorated with Christmas lights. 

 

Police closed off the surrounding streets as FDNY firefighters extinguished the blaze.
