Back up HDD, and memory box... :ph34r: I'm sentimental..

 

Perhaps my Mum's rabbit... Perhaps not, depended how bad the fire was if I could go back in for a second time.

I would probably save my phone, my computer and everything I own, If I had to grab one thing... it would be a big bottle of water or one of those fire foam pumping things that puts out fires, so I could put out the fire.  Unlike the Kansas Man, he has a xbox... no where to plug it in, no TV to plug it into.  Sad.  

 

Though out of all seriousness if I was in that scenario, I would sit in my bed hugging my dog and I would pray as my body turned into ashes and floated away with the wind.  Being with the ones I love is all I want, and after all.  I don't want to be owing the bank the $80,000 dollars I loaned for house repairs.

Mhh lets see. My laptop, my phone (If I don't have it with me already), my mechanical keyboard, the maille I'm working on, possibly my bio textbook so the school doesn't get mad at me, and of course my desktop if possible. (If not I'd just rip out the SSD, and 2 HDD that are there) otherwise I don't think there's that much I would care about...

I would grab fire and run.

But seriously, I would probably grab all small valuable items like my money can, jewelery can, wallet in which are also my papers ... If it was possible I would definitely grab my PC too.

My dog. Everything else is replaceable.

EDIT:

This assumes my family gets out on their own, obviously. ;)

Luckily, our house is mostly brick and concrete, so it's not something

I'm hugely concerned about. I'm much more worried about burglars

breaking in and harming my dog while I'm not home.

I'd say my dogs, but I'm positive they'd be outside already waiting for my slow ass. So I'd probably grab the most valuable thing near me. Probably end up being my tower.

Where I live you would not get back the full amount of what the PC originally

cost, but its time-adjusted value, so this might not work out as intended.

Having said that, I care much more about my data than about my PC (offsite backup).
