The toilet paper hanging from one of Auburn University's famed Toomer's Corner oak trees was set on fire late Saturday night and surveillance footage of the corner appears to show a person intentionally setting the fire.

The toilet paper celebration is a longstanding tradition at Auburn following wins by their football team.

Following Auburn's 18-13 upset win over No. 18 LSU, the toilet paper caught fire causing damage to the tree.
