trash fires
Garbage in flames
Trash fires are fires set to burn garbage, historically common before modern waste disposal.
The term now primarily serves as slang for situations, events, or things that are chaotic disasters: The meeting was an absolute trash fire.
A person whose life is a mess might be called a trash fire.
The image suggests something that shouldn't be burning, produces toxic smoke, and is hard to control.
