Department of Irony - playing with fire

Warren Lewis is a Memphis barber who specializes in flame cutting hair. He just had a fire at his barber shop -- the Memphis Flyer is there:
Shop of Fire Barber Catches Fire
The North Memphis barbershop of Warren Lewis caught fire on Wednesday. Lewis pioneered the technique of trimming hair with fire and discussed this and other chapters of his colorful life in a Flyer story last year.

No one was injured, and the property suffered minor damage. Lewis was back up and burning hair yesterday. He was quick to point out that the structure fire had nothing to do with his unusual technique. He said that air conditioning repairmen were “sweating the pipes” with butane torches when the fire occurred.
