However, the blazes spread, therefore five fire trucks were called to her apartment in Hutchinson, Kansas, US to put out the inferno and they were able to bring the fire under control within a matter of minutes.

As a result of the fire, Griffith was arrested and charged with aggravated arson because she owned a shared home.
