Field Of Flames

Bobby Lowry, 9, uses a garden hose to spray down the edge of a burning field of grass Monday afternoon off Lower Valley Road south of Kalispell. After being alerted to the fire outside his home, the boy first called his mother and then called 911. After making the phone calls, the boy went outside and helped a neighbor try to extinguish the rapidly spreading fire. The neighbor was burning woody debris when gusty winds pushed the fire into a nearby field. The man said he was unaware it was illegal to burn.
