The IKEA Christmas Goat, a giant version of the traditional Swedish Yule Goat, burnt down this morning. Although the goat is known for being a recurring target for arsonists, this time the fire was started by faulty Christmas lights used to decorate the goat.

Þórarinn Ævarsson, IKEA’s managing director, says the goat was reduced to ashes in a matter of seconds. “We’re rather upset about the whole incident,” he said.

A new goat is set to be erected outside the Swedish furniture company’s store in the Reykjavík suburb of Garðabær over the next couple of days.
