The social media post claims that a wildfire was started by a laser beam. To evaluate whether this claim is true, a user could:
1. Check the number of likes, shares, and comments on the post to see if it has been widely accepted or debunked.
2. Conduct a reverse image search to see if the photo has been used elsewhere or if it is a stock image.
3. Look up the date the photo was taken and compare it to known wildfire incidents to see if it matches up.
