Hire a professional electrician. You are not qualified to do this
repair and if you do, your home will burn to the ground and kill
everyone in your home. Shut off all power in your home immediately
and call an electrician. This is not a joke. Run to your breaker
panel IMMEDIATELY and disconnect the main breaker NOW. As soon as you
do, call the Fire Department and tell them there is a fire inside this
outlet box (because there is).

That shouldn't happen if you connect it properly. Connect everything
to the LINE terminals on the GFCI and nothing to the LOAD terminals.
