WISCONSIN DELLS, Wisconsin (WCCO) — A crystal ball didn’t predict a fire in Wisconsin — but it did start one.

This happened Monday at a home near Wisconsin Dells. The Dalton Fire Department says a crystal ball was sitting near a window, and when the sun hit it, it set the couch on fire.

Investigators say the ball worked like a magnifying glass and focused the sun’s energy.

No one was hurt, but the fire caused about $250,000 worth of damage to the home.
