YOU SAID:
The parking lot was up in flames
INTO JAPANESE
駐車場は炎に包まれた
BACK INTO ENGLISH
the car park was swept by fire
INTO JAPANESE
駐車場は火でふさがれた
BACK INTO ENGLISH
the parking lot was blocked by fire
INTO JAPANESE
駐車場は火災で塞がれた
BACK INTO ENGLISH
the parking lot was blocked by fire
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
