In a shocking turn of events, a fire broke out during an ill-fated attempt at sunbathing.

In a stunning display of irony, a group of pale homeowners attempted to harness the power of the sun by setting their gardens ablaze, hoping to achieve that coveted 'deep tan' without stepping foot in a tanning booth. As the flames crackled and sparked, neighbors couldn't decide if they were witnessing a backyard barbecue or an avant-garde art installation gone horribly wrong. Who knew that mixing self-tan lotion with garden mulch had combustible consequences? It seems that the quest for the perfect tan now involves firefighters, leaving many to ponder the lengths people will go for beauty and the cruel nature of irony.
