What intrigued me was the fanciful or nostalgic/sentimental notion of such a question. In other words, the idea of thinking about/exploring what is really important to you (sometimes it's not the obvious stuff!)
I suppose it could have easily been Five Things You'd Bring with You..... Certainly, I hope that the OP in no way suggests forming an actual FIRE PLAN. With that being said: 1) My son's baby albums 2) Our Memory Box 3) My PEZ collection! 4) All the original artwork I could grab on the way out! 5) my iMac!

The time to think about what what should be gotten out – should be thought about “before” a fire – there are many precautions that can be taken and ways to back up files/photos/etc (before) something tragic may happen – protocols set in place for getting out of the house – exits/fire extinguishers/fire safes/back ups/safety deposit boxes – where to meet outside of the house – emergency phone numbers/etc… I know this question was meant in fun (sort of) but I and others on this site who have seen the devastation of fire up close and personal – where lives have been lost and are at stake on a daily basis to ensure safety of human life – the protocols are not just something to “think about “ when you have time – they are “essential” to life-perhaps your own or someone’s you love some day.

I agree. While it wasn't my space, I did have an experience with a fire in a friends building. It is of course always important to get you and your loved ones out with a plan already in place for emergencies. Of course sometimes in that moment all of that goes out the window. Time feels a lot different. I guess just the way I have lived, I always keep the things I need close by at all times. I lived a lot of my life backpacking and working traveling from place to place so I am accustomed to not keeping a lot of "things". That makes what I do keep with me a lot more valuable and some of it while just "stuff" are things that are the last reminders I have of loved ones. Safety first! |

Me, I would get dressed if I wasn't already, grab my coat, and shoes and run the fuck out the door, grabbing my cat on the way, cause he sleeps in bed with me. (I'm single, so no one else to worry about but me and my cat.)
I have fire insurance on my apt. so my stuff can be replaced, clothes, place to live, etc, all covered under my insurance.

I think it would take about one minute to grab my bug out bag (that's what it's for), external hard drive and phone on the way to the door, keys at door.
With the bag I am good for 2 weeks, with access to my car which is street parked away from the property, another 2 weeks. That is the luxury of time option. I could just walk out the door with nothing, if I could get to my car it is set up fine and a valet key is accessible on the exterior, master key on the interior impossible for anyone else to find. Me + = good to go *My prep is more for earthquake than fire, I guess if it is just the one structure it wouldn't matter. There are hotels to set up in then. |

You did say my family and all the animals are safe, right? In that case I'd grab:
My backpack for school My laptop File folder of important papers (birth certs, insurance, passport, etc..) Kindle Phone I keep most, if not all, of these things near or on my nightstand...never know what could happen and when you might have to get out in a hurry. Ever since my son has been old enough to understand, I've taught him about fire safety. First and foremost, I taught him to get out of the house...and run to a neighbors. He knows that under NO circumstances is he to come looking for me...just get out.

Disclaimer: I do know this is "FUN and FLUFF" thread
I did live through a fire at the age of 15. We did not have time to grab anything other than... what we had on and it was in December in Minnesota at 3 am. I am always ready now ... Shoes, bra, pants, shirt/sweatshirt pants, keys and phone alway sit next to my bed. My three sister's still to this day do the same thing. We are forever prepared for the next time around. Now in the FUN and FLUFF.... Phone clothes Laptop ecig Mellow Yellow *smirk* |

Aside from living beings.
1 red notebook. The person who wrote in it has passed. It's my most personal/prized possession.
I know exactly where it is, on my exit plan. I have it duplicated, but if I have 10 extra seconds it's coming with me. Everything else in my life is replacable.

I posted this once before in the what are you listening to thread - but i thought i would post it here too...it was sent to me by a friend - as a thank you - and i pass it along as a thank you ... if you know of a (rescue worker) in any capacity - pass it along - along with a silent prayer and thank you - believe me - they will appreciate it.... as I said before I know this was meant in fun (what would you grab) kinda thing ... but I appreciate that perhaps this has caused more than one to think about ... putting in place protocols and having a plan - so all that you do think about is "life" ... thanks again ...

My family already has a "bag" of sorts
filled with items needed in an emergency. So we would just grab that.
