They could Not Think anyone would drive into the fire
According to Lani, the police's blocked road was going AWAY from the fire. Not into the fire.
In her interview video, she claimed that after she drove over the police's cones, it took her only 45 minutes to reach her home. Which was AWAY from the fire. She said that during that 45 minutes. There was NO fire, NO smoke, NO car, NO nothing on that very safe road.
After the drove over the police's cone then reached safety, Lani contacted her trapped friends. Telling them to get OUT NOW. Because the fire was coming toward them very fast.
Other witnesses said that most people who complied with the police's directions and choose to stayed at the blocked roads DIED from either smoke or fire.
