I suppose you can see the danger of people are so obediant to what they perceive to be authority, that they just go along with whatever someone says. "Oh, he's a fire marshal, he must know what he's talking about!"

But quite honestly, there's a difference. This isn't obediance in the sense of stomping on someone's rights. It isn't like an officer telling you to shoot someone, they sincerely believed this was the best course of action to avoid a dangerous hazard. So I can't blame them for not knowing better.
