Some users think this might be a kid's joke, but others think it might be a real call for assistance from someone who was affected by the flames.One user even speculated that the victim may be attempting to seek assistance in what may be a case of human trafficking.

"The words 'Help' and 'Traffico' were scribbled in the trash, encircled by shipping containers, in this unsettling Google Maps image from Los Angeles, California. A user shared Google images of the area, which is close to North Mission Road in Los Angeles, on X. "It has been confirmed that the lot next to this location is a shipping yard which has led users to fear that this is connected to human trafficking or worse," the user wrote.

Fires in Los Angeles

In the devastated areas of the Palisades and Eaton fires, which broke out on January 7 with strong winds and left entire neighborhoods in ash and rubble, Los Angeles County firefighters have spent much of the last week clearing vegetation, shoring up slopes, and strengthening roadways.

The Palisades Fire, the biggest of the fires that killed at least 11 people and damaged thousands of homes, reached 90% containment on Sunday. At least 16 people have been murdered in the Eaton Fire, which started close to Altadena and is 98% contained.

As of Sunday night, the Hughes Fire, which broke out north of Los Angeles last week and forced over 50,000 people to evacuate or be on alert, was 95% contained.

As the smaller Border 2 Fire raged across a remote region of the Otay Mountain Wilderness near the US-Mexico border in San Diego County, firefighters made headway in containing the fire.
