Apparently, the Grinch/arsonist/terrorist/TBD climbed the tree before setting it on fire:

Fox’s Cheryl Casone tweeted that security guards at the building tackled the suspect before police arrived:
My 4am view today. Our @FoxNews Xmas tree torched. This city is a complete disaster. The security guards (who wait for me every morning) tackled the suspect https://t.co/EBzKQO7vhF
