    I mean it depends on how big the container is and whether or not my cat is included in "everyone". If not my cat then my PC and books

    Depends on where I'm going honestly.

    The streets? Survival stuff. Food, water, tent, and power adapters for cars.

    I grab my go bag and step outside to wait for the fire trucks. Lived on a boat for years, so i always keep a waterproof go bag handy.

    Can the container be the car? I've lived in my car before. Insurance paperwork (to hopefully be able to get $ for the destruction of the house), phone & chargers, IDs, all my underwear, a change of clothes. Work would probably let me park it in the garage while I was recovering from the loss, if I can keep the job, will land on my feet. If not, things quickly devolve.

    This answer assumes the other residents of the house are all ok and not part of this scenario, and I only have to worry about me.

    When we have had pending natural disaster, we bring clothes, kids & pets, have documents already in plastic bags, stow my car on second floor of work garage and fill coolers with ice, we have a protocol for hurricanes, but fire is a wildcard.

    Guns, cash, photos, safe contents.

    Everything else is replaceable.

    edit: I realize the guns are replaceable, but not like go to the corner store and buy same day replaceable. And I might need them.

    The bin of important documents. Everything else is replaceable. Pictures and data are backed up digitally. Clothes can be bought again. Family is already safe.

    Literally anything other than my work devices

  • My home is itself a container. I choose that.

    Laptop bag is the container, full of laptop and accessories. Fucker costs too damn much to just let burn.

  • Bold to assume I would leave.

    Into my largest suitcase: cash, medicine, important paperwork, yearbooks, favorite childhood stuffed animals, a week of everyday clothes, photo albums, every greeting card my husband has ever given me, as much makeup and nail polish as I can fit (shit's expensive!), phone, kindle, the watercolor I had commissioned of my dog who is no longer with us, and my box of yorkshire gold

    I'm a minimalist, I don't have such weakness. If I have to get out ASAP, the fire safe plus my bushcraft/survival bag. Anything else can be replaced.

    You have reminded me to catalogue the collection

  • Consider making a list of everything you own, including brand and model. If you ever have a house fire, it’ll be the single most worthwhile thing you’ve ever done. There are entire companies dedicated to maximizing your insurance payout after a total loss; All they do is ensure you’re listing makes and models (or at least specs) for everything.

    Insurance companies have gigantic lists of the absolute cheapest items on the market for common household items. If you list “toaster” on your insurance list, the insurance company will only pay out for the cheapest toaster on the market. The more specific your listing is, the less wiggle room they have to cheap out on you. That service will increase your payout by listing specifics. They change it from “toaster” to “pink retro-style four-slice toaster with bagel and defrost settings”, and your payout for that toaster goes from $3 to $280.

    Put on respirator. Grab bug-out bag. Get out.

    Preferably under 2 minutes if I can smell smoke.
