A woman and her three children died in a fire that swept through Parsi-Parlo town in Arunachal Pradesh's Kurung Kumey district early on Thursday.
Nineteen houses burned down and five were partly damaged; her husband is missing.
The town has no fire station, and the nearest fire tender, about 38 km away, reportedly could not reach it in time.
