Iowa Firefighters Ordered to Put Away Scissors

A makeshift barbershop of sorts started two to three years ago by firefighters at Iowa City's downtown fire station is no more.

In the May 2 edition of the Press-Citizen, firefighters were photographed having their hair cut in the weekly "Rituals" feature. The feature showcased "Buckman's Barbershop," a makeshift barbershop in the hose shop at Iowa City Fire Station 1, 410 E. Washington St.
