Basically warning systems were activated late aand did not reach the intended population, many of whom were quite isolated. Some distrusted government authority and did not leeave. As the fire advancd, pushed by strong winds, cell towers went down, further scrambling the situation. Incompleete evacuation maps did not help.
I reported here my quick evacuation from a wildfire about three years ago at one in the morning. When in doubt, leave early and avoid the rush. Heed official notifications.
What kind of a lousy system prevents the exchange of information across international boundaries? This is retarded....
