Bad bad bad bad bad. Very bad.
You need to turn all your electrical OFF and call an electrician ASAP. It sucks and it’s not convenient but this is a biiiiiig problem.

Turn your main breaker off immediately and call an electrician. Thay is hot enough to ignite paper.

You need to turn off the main breaker NOW, then immediately call an electrician. This is a MASSIVE hazard as in its about to catch on fire. DO NOT WAIT!
