  abstract = {{W}e report on the discovery of a new fast radio burst ({FRB}), {FRB} 150215, with the {P}arkes radio telescope on 2015 {F}ebruary 15. {T}he burst was detected in real time with a dispersion measure ({DM}) of 1105.6 +/- 0.8 pc cm(-3), a pulse duration of 2.8(-0.5)(+1.2) ms, and a measured peak flux density assuming that the burst was at beam centre of 0.7(-0.1)(+0.2) {J}y. {T}he {FRB} originated at a {G}alactic longitude and latitude of 24.66 degrees, 5.28 degrees and 25 degrees away from the {G}alactic {C}enter. {T}he burst was found to be 43 +/- 5 per cent linearly polarized with a rotation measure ({RM}) in the range -9 < {RM} < 12 rad m(-2) (95 per cent confidence level), consistent with zero. {T}he burst was followed up with 11 telescopes to search for radio, optical, {X}-ray, gamma-ray and neutrino emission. {N}either transient nor variable emission was found to be associated with the burst and no repeat pulses have been observed in 17.25 h of observing. {T}he sightline to the burst is close to the {G}alactic plane and the observed physical properties of {FRB} 150215 demonstrate the existence of sight lines of anomalously low {RM} for a given electron column density. {T}he {G}alactic {RM} foreground may approach a null value due to magnetic field reversals along the line of sight, a decreased total electron column density from the {M}ilky {W}ay, or some combination of these effects. {A} lower {G}alactic {DM} contribution might explain why this burst was detectable whereas previous searches at low latitude have had lower detection rates than those out of the plane.},
