I have the same attitude toward clothing...Clothes are cheap and easy to replace...Especially when the majority of your wardrobe (like mine) is jeans and t-shirts...Although, I would kinda miss my boots...Still, I could always get more :)

My house on fire and I got 2 minutes? Hmm...
First 30 seconds - Grab anything valuable - computer server (luckily my server cabinet comes with a handle on top :D ), pack of DVDs (I do put the valuable ones aside in a neat little packing, just for emergencies like this), and yell at my wife and Mom in the meanwhile. Second 30 seconds - Run around and make a quick peek through all the rooms for a surreptious (sp?) glance for anything of value - clothes I would skip, as with other heavy objects. Third 30 seconds - Jump into the bedroom and take some (if not all) cash out. Important to have funds in hand. Last 30 seconds - Make a hasty dash out with family members, and call the Firemen from the cell. That oughta do it. :) Although I separated the entire happening into 30 second-brackets, I wont be exactly checking out the watch while doing all the stuff I mentioned above, for sure. Actually, it helps immensely to have a calm mind when facing such a sort of emergency.

Many years ago, my neighbor across the street had woken up in the middle of the night to a loud 'POP'...It was Christmas time, snowing, and he had a kerosene heater in the living room...His Christmas tree was in front of his window, the heater was about 4 feet from the window...And he entered the livingroom to find that his kerosene heater had exploded on the inside...He didn't know that his teenaged son had accidentally put gasoline in it instead of kerosene His first reaction was to grab the handle of the heater (burning his hand), and drag it through the livingroom and kitchen to throw it out the side door...Which leaked a trail of gasoline all through the house, which quickly caught the carpet on fire He lost everything because he didn't want to break the front window...He could have picked up the heater and thrown it through the window to save his house...But, it just didn't occur to him at the time...

Thats where a calm mind comes in.
Rational thinking is as much a part of it, as is the ability to take quick on-the-spot decisions. Someone who has been in such situations, can handle them better, when compared to someone who is facing it for the first time. Heck, most people throw rationality out of the window when they are confronted with a raging fire anyway, heh. Its just protecting the family and self-survival instincts which drive their minds in those moments. And thats completely understandable.

I would think that I would act rationally, because I'm extremely logic-minded, and have had to deal with a few 'emergencies' when my mother was staring open-mouthed in a complete state of shock unable to move...Her inaction concerned me far more than the situation, but I handled it...I can't remember ever 'freaking out' at any time in my life...Of course, I still think we can't really be sure what we might do in any given emergency situation

I have an external hard drive which I put a copy of my most important things.
