From Five O'clock Report, 5:55 pm on 14 January 2020

A 30 year old man whose cabin in the Alaskan wilderness burned down kept himself warm by fashioning a makeshift shelter and then signalled for help using ash from the fire. Tyson Steele was rescued more than 20 days after he lost his cabin, by a helicopter crew doing a welfare check at the request of his family. Alaska State Trooper Zac Johnson tells Kim Savage about the rescue.
