A woman who lost her house in a divorce allegedly set it on fire and sparked an inferno that spread to 19 neighbouring homes - killing a cat and two dogs.
Adrienne Satterly, 41, is accused of piling mattresses on the kitchen floor and lighting them on fire before leaving her former marital home for the last time.
As the flames spread while her neighbours slept, she left with her two cats and walked to a Walmart before calling 911, say fire officials in the US city of Hiram, Georgia.
She told a 911 dispatcher that she had a "kitty cat and a suitcase" and she wanted someone to come and pick her up from the department store.
Nearly 30 firefighters raced to the inferno and evacuated neighbouring properties as they desperately tried to save houses on the block.
