Four children and an adult were feared dead Saturday after a fire ravaged their remote cabin in Norway s Arctic, as a sixth man ran through snow for miles in no clothes or shoes to get help, police said.
The blaze broke out at 4:30 am (0330 GMT) in the cabin in Andoy, in the Lofoten archipelago. The man tried to rescue the others, including four children under the age of 16, police said in a statement.
But when he realised he was not able to, he ran almost four kilometres (2.5 miles) to the closest neighbour to call for help.
The cabin was located in a valley surrounded by forest and with no cell phone reception.
