  1. My house burned to the ground when I was a teenager. My Mom grabbed her purse, which was smart, as it had all the car keys in it. Of all the things we lost, the only thing I still regret is the photographs. So I give away copies of photographs.

    We have a fire plan. The rules are to let the cats and dog fend for themselves. I have too many kids to have them worrying about animals, although I cherish the animals personally. I have a file box with irreplaceable documents, like copies of sealed adoptions and foreign documents, ready to grab in a moment. As long as the family is out, I can deal with losing anything else.

  2. My husband is a firefighter but we don't have a fire plan. Your response gave me food for thought. I'd definitely want to grab the family photos but I could part with anything that's insurable. There are times when I would be grateful to rid myself of the 25 years of detritus that I'm drowning in.
