Firefighters were called to the 1700 block of Western about 9:30 p.m. The fire damaged a home and the W.E.L. Barbershop, which also housed a family.

Investigators are searching for a cause, but the owner of the barber shop says his wood burning stove was in use.

"I'm just really glad that nobody got hurt," said Kenneth Lax, whose business and home were damaged.

No one was hurt.
