What are 3 things you would save from a house fire, assuming all people, pets, documents, and important electronics are saved?
Prompt snagged from: TCMC
Aside from my evacuation bag (wallet, cash, jewelry, birth certificate, social security card, home insurance policy but it’s also on my phone, my computers and phone), I’d grab:
- change of clothes
- contacts/glasses
- my parents photo albums
During the pandemic, there was a wildfire creeping dangerously close to our neighborhood. Evacuations became mandatory. I left work early, hoping to get back in time to grab our things, but the entrance to the area was already blocked off by police. I had to text my mom and tell her to meet me in a nearby parking lot a couple of miles away so we could figure out where to go next. It was that surreal kind of panic—fast-moving, and somehow slow-motion at the same time.
Back in high school, my brother’s 40 gallon aquarium caught on fire—something electrical with the wires, we think. The living room went up in flames. We were able to put it out before it took over the rest of the house, but all our beautiful saltwater fish died.
