Worried that a flaming man fired from a cannon might send the wrong message to children on the eve of Fire Prevention Week, a Michigan city commission has snuffed out a circus act

Bailey's Comet will not soar brightly when The Greatest Show on Earth visits Grand Rapids this week.

The city permit still will allow performer Tina Miser to shoot her husband out of a cannon.

But it won't let her douse him with lighter fluid before she sends him sailing across the arena.
