Apparently she sleeps nakey. So clothing would be high on my list. Hubs and furbabes of course but everything else is replaceable...maybe I'd grab the car keys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254279 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 08:36:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 254279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmm... I've thought about this too and I would take my camera, laptop, external hard drive and me and my husbands "Honor" journal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254277 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 08:35:32 +0000 tequiero21 254277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i remember we had a false alarm at an apartment i was at. i thought there was a fire, so i grabbed my laptop and ran out lol. so i guess my computer/laptop. actually, the desktop is too bulky so even though it's crazy expensive, maybe just the external harddrive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254274 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 08:33:43 +0000 MrsBrewer 254274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I had to giggle when I read that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254261 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 08:28:28 +0000 mrsjyw 254261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>photo albums + wedding rings + laptops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254229 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 08:15:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 254229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually had a chance to think about this when our fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and we all had to wait outside on the sidewalk in the middle of winter (awesome). It turned out to be nothing, but we were outside for a while and I was most upset that I didnt have my wedding rings and my phone. My rings, sentimental reasons, though of course they are also expensive! And my iphone has tons of pictures, though nothing I couldn't live without, but I also don't know anyone's phone number anymore! </p> <p>Everything else is replaceable. Our wedding album we created online, so we could easily print an exact replica. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254218 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 08:10:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 254218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My photo books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254215 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 08:07:44 +0000 Bookish 254215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm. We are about to get a fireproof safe, but it's one of those itty bitty ones, so I'd probably grab that :) Then.. my hard drive with all my pictures on it.. my photo books &amp; albums, and my husband's guitars :) I'd cry really, REALLY hard about my books, but I'd know I couldn't grab all of them. :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254208 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 08:04:49 +0000 regberadaisy 254208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Old picture frames pre-digital era.

I'd grab a few things:<br /> 1) Box with s.s. cards, birth certificates, etc<br /> 2) Cell<br /> 3)Hubs' box of valuable/favorite baseball cards (hey, some are valuable - so he says)<br /> I realize that if LO were here, this list would change to include her diaper bag or momentos about her, but she's not here yet. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254156 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 07:25:03 +0000 Rubies 254156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My jewelry box, laptop, and phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254125 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 06:52:49 +0000 heffalump 254125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like all of our pictures are backed up, so I would just run. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254118 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 06:39:41 +0000 Andrea 254118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have all our files backed up online and I could probably get my wedding album reprinted anyway.

My dad is huge on food storage and emergency preparedness, we always have discussions about this kind of stuff. When I was 15 we had a mock fire drill, we had 5 minutes to meet in the family room with what we would take.</p> <p>My younger sister brings her bible, scrapbooks and memory box.<br /> My 2 brothers bring similar things.</p> <p>I went straight to my closet and opened my arms wide and picked off like 100 hangered items. And just ran down stairs. I have no idea why I didn't think to bring my 72 hr kit or anything. </p> <p>Anyways we still joke about that today as a family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254031 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 00:44:09 +0000 mediagirl 254031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The two big scrapbooks I have done of our lives together are in a bookshelf right by the front door. If we could go out that way, I would grab them. My wedding rings, as well if possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254028 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 00:36:25 +0000 sunny 254028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I'm actually thinking of setting up a mirror with a friend. A little more work, but I hate the idea of paying $300-$400/yr+ in perpetuity for a subscription service when I have the skill to do something else :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254026 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 00:01:46 +0000 HLK208 254026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd grab our wedding album and lap top since it holds all our photos. Our LO's have a special box that has their firsts (such as the outfit home from the hospital, hair from first hair cut and even their umbilical stump)...I'd really want to have those but I think the photos would be more important. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254025 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 23:59:48 +0000 mrbee 254025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: You should back that up to the cloud!!</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/07/25/how-i-back-up-all-my-images/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/07/25/how-i-back-up-all-my-images/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-house-is-on-fire-assuming-your-family-and-pets-are-safe-what-do-you-take-out-of-the-house#post-254023 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 23:55:44 +0000 sunny 254023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd try to grab our external hard drive.

We have insurance so I wouldn't risk my life for anything.

And maybe my laptop/iPad, just because that's portable but high value. Although to be honest, if the fire was serious, I would just leave right away.</p> <p>Assuming your family and pets (and documents) are safe, what do you take out of the house in the event of a fire? </p>
