Hm. This is a tough one.  Assuming that my family and cat are ok I'm not sure what I'd really grab.  They say the safest bet is to just get out of the house as fast as possible because the place could explode at any second.

 

I guess if I had to I would get my Nexus 4 cell phone and Nintendo 3DS.  Those are my most recent technological purchases and I would hate to have to literally burn (lol) my money and re-buy them so soon.  I have them on my nightstand beside the bed so all I would have to do would be to stuff them into my pockets.  

 

My other things can be replaced over time. I'm not into clothing and fashion so that's not a big deal.  I've yet to receive any heirlooms with sentimental value.  Also I could use a better laptop so...

My rabbits would be my biggest concern. I'd probably grab my cell phone and laptop.

But I agree with lolrawr, getting out would come first, haha.

I grab the animals, Mal, and my jacket by the door which has my keys my phone, and my ID in it. Stuff can be replaced.

 

Of course, if it's just a small fire, I grab the fire extinguisher and put it out.

My cats and any people in the apartment. Everything else can burn, I've lost so much stuff over the years it doesn't even matter any more.

 

If I had time enough, I'd grab my laptop and phone/wallet, but that's about it.

I grab the fire extinguisher? Nah id likely grab my wallet and phone, that's all I really need, oh and wake up anyone else in the house I guess.... Unless they've been pissing me off!

 First and foremost, mine and my family's safety and hope the the Fire Dept can save my room. Got my PS3, Computer, 3DS, TV etc in there. I wouldn't be able to save them all.

ateyuavenged said : " I wouldn't be able to save them all.  :(", so true, so sad

I'd try to get people out of the house and Animals if I could but I wouldn't try to be a hero where animals are concerned.

 

I was in a house fire when I was 15. My Sisters house got gutted out but at least nobody died. My brother lin law and cousin dragged me out of my bed because I just turned over and didn't belive them but they were always trying to play the fool with me like trying to paint my spectacles with emulsion and leaving little holes for my eyes lol.

 

Funny how that turned out though. I wakes up and comes down stairs with my specs on and they look at me and all you hear is my sisters shouting to go on war path because they didnt realise it was her specs they painted lmao.

 

I just sat there with a massive smile

my family and my laptop

Surprised noone has responded yet with the fire, but assuming that we arent firebenders, I would probably go for my electronics and money. Everything I have is replacable except those, my books, and my bones. Sadly I would have to spend a good 10 minutes at least to get out my small library, and my bones arent worth it. And on the bright side, I might actually change up my wardrobe if it all burned.

What do you mean by "responded with the fire"? Like... bringing the fire with you to safety? Adding more fire to the fire to make sure everything really burns down? Or, like, addressing the fire and putting it out?

 

Because Mute and Dark both mentioned if it was small enough, they'd just extinguish it themselves...

[† Mute point]

I think he means taking the fire away and leaving all the stuff where it's safe. But if you can control it that much, just put it out.

[Pinkie Pie]

First and foremost, dogs and siblings get out first.  I can replace electronics and other things, but not my siblings or my dogs.  If everyone's already out, my purse for sure, which has notebooks filled with my latest ideas and writings, my wallet, and my phone, and then my laptop.  I'd take my PS2 memory cards, because those are hours I'll never get back, and attempt to take my rarer games too.  My lockbox comes too, and I would try to grab my brother's favorite clown doll and my sister's favorite stuffed panda.  Those are toys that they've had since they were babies and even having at least one favorite toy would hopefully make things at least seem a little more secure.

My g/f or my nas tough decision

[Kyle_Dimetri]

my passport, my ps3, my laptop and a couple of clothes and fresh underwears <<<can't live without them

[Fexen]

Probably nothing. It's all replacable.

[Prometheus1991]

Given how much I love my computer I imagine I'd be a total idiot and try to drag my entire desktop outside with me. Other than that, my wallet and phone I guess, I keep all my important information somewhere between those two things.

[† L4ugh]

I'd grab the cat and let the rest burn. I have a fireproof safe for really important stuff, so I can dig it out later. I guess if I'm near the kitchen I might grab a bag of marshmallows, but anything I'm really attached to is in the safe.  

[DrumRoll]

I've got a stack of fire extinguishers from when we closed the cafe so I'd probably pick up one of those, if not then:

 

1.hdd

2.family members and pets

3.laptop

4.xbox hdd
