OLYMPIA, WA: Ashley Conroy, 22, was arrested after she was treated for smoke inhalation at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Lt. Cliff Ziesemer said Monday evening. It was not immediately known late Monday whether she had a lawyer.

The hot plate with an open coil sat on a floor and apparently ignited nearby clothes, Ziesemer said.

The mother was outside the home, eating at a nearby trailer on the property, when the fire broke out about 5 a.m. Monday. The father was in jail at the time

“The baby boy was by himself in the residence. The mother was in the other residence, basically eating cake, and was not aware of the fire,” Ziesemer said.

Conroy suffered smoke inhalation and a burned nose trying to get back inside. KOMO
There had been two similar bedroom fires in the home in the past two months that were not reported, he said.
