Tragic Bozeman Fire Kills Two Young Children
A stove fire in Bozeman fatally suffocated two children, a four year old girl and a two year old boy, as their mother briefly left home. Firemen found them on a bed after rushing back when she returned and asked for the missing youngsters. The boy showed no burns while the girl suffered burns on hands and face. The fire started when a coal fell from the kitchen stove igniting wood. The mother had planned to be away briefly, and the home was partly consumed.
