Me and anybody else who might be there at the time! I don't think I'd be thinking about personal possessions cos on a not so cheery note: I've seen real-time video recordings of how quickly the smoke can spread, so I think I'd just want to make sure I got out!

Would you try to save any possessions Lindsey?

After the rest of the family and the dog it would be the computer and the guitar.

A key.

Any key, back door, front door or window. Whichever one lets me get out. Failing that something heavy to smash a window. Then, any living creatures in the house.

Probably leave the koi in the pond as they could probably put themselves out if they caught fire.

I would save my ladyfriend, as she is the most important person in my life, if anything happened to her I might as well kill myself as my life would be over.

Possessions are just trash, and are of no REAL value, it is a flesh and blood companion who makes ones life happy, someone to love, hold, embrace, kiss, talk to, sleep with that makes this life worthwhile.

I'd be careful how you word things halevan as it sounds like you're saying that people without a partner have no life... which surely isn't true for everyone... is it!?! ;)

If it was just me in the house i would save my kitties. I could live with myself knowing they were in the house.

You have a pond in your house!? I knew someone who had a fishpond under their stairs, but I thought it was a one off

We keep our back door key on a hook just inside the kitchen, 2 ft off the ground, so we can find it even when the room is full of smoke.

If I could safely rescue one posession after pets and family were out, it would be all my pictures on my data drive.

I only asked because I know someone who does have a pond in their house - designed by a mad architect apparently
