A professional fire dancer's costume caught fire and spread to his left leg on Saturday while he was performing at a luau in Nevada.
The dancer, who was not named, and a second performer were both treated for injuries at University Medical Center in Las Vegas, according to the Lakeside casino in Pahrump, where the show was held.
The condition of the main person hurt is not known at this time, and the second individual suffered only minor burns, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
