A fire that began at about 2 to 2.30 am on Thursday 12 November 2026 went through Parsi-Parlo town in Kurung Kumey district, Arunachal Pradesh. The Deputy Commissioner said a woman and her three minor children, two sons and a daughter, died and her husband is missing. The District Disaster Management Officer counts 19 houses burnt to ashes and five partly damaged; other reports say about 20, 25 or 30. A kitchen is suspected and the cause is not confirmed. The Assam Tribune says the town has no fire station and the fire tender at Koloriang, about 38 km away, reportedly did not reach in time. The Chief Minister offered condolences and an organisation of the Nyishi community called for relief.
