FIRE !!!
Posted : 9 Dec, 2010 04:53 PM

You wake up in the middle of the night with a start, the smoke detector is screaming, the house is filling with smoke, you already see the flames. You have just enough time to grab a few things and get out.

What do you grab on your way out?

(bonus question)...You can only take one pair of shoes...which ones?

Haha, I would be just fine without shoes as well GodsJude!



I would grab my purse, file storage box, and my 2 roommates! Don't want to forget them!

I have a USB drive with all my files and writings on it. I made it on purpose - We have these little things called "hurricanes" here! Not fun!:excited: I don't think a fire would be either!



I keep journals and would also try to grab as many as I can. Probably a shelf full.



And my cat! ^^

While I was yelling, waking everyone up, I'd put my slippers on. If I had time I'd shove my feet into a pair of slip-on shoes like Keds. I'd grab my purse, my laptop, and probably photo albums.

I'd love to be able to grab both cats, but the odds of being able to do that would be slim to none. I'd just have to pray for them to be OK.

In this order, starting with the things nearest to me

cell phones (I'm calling 911!)

Cats if nearby (My cats, especially the new stray, are unpredictable.My older cat would probably wake me up if he smelled smoke-he has before-but he wouldn't survive a fall from a window very well. I doubt the stray would let me near him if he was terrified. And there's no way I could hold them both at once.)

blanket off my bed for warmth

purse and whatever shoes are nearby if I'm going out the front door. If I'm going out the window forget the purse.



Everything I own is replaceable. I'm not. :)



And Twosparrows, my primary objectives would be survival and warmth, not fashion. :rolleyes:

Dogs could walk on their own, important papers are in a fire box, so I guess I grab the loose guns and a pair of boots...oh and my mountian bike....yeah it lives in the house : )

I'd jump into my clothes from the night before, which are almost guaranteed to have my keys, wallet, knife, and belt, while I grab my cell phone. I'd probably pull on my Sperry's since finding socks for my boots would be a hassle. I'd grab my laptop and be out the door in 30 seconds max. Then I'd have to turn back around and go back inside because I forgot to check and see if my roommate was up. My laptop is important, but not as important as him. He's gotta be around to continue paying rent.
