All my life, I've never experienced an fire situation aside the ones where I carelessly get burned while cooking or when I walk under the hot sun during the day, those definitely enlightened me very well how hurtful fire can be on my skin and of course on things that are perishable with it.
It is never what anyone would pray for, but that doesn't mean those that experience fire outbreaks had prayed for it. It happens and sometimes we don't know when it could happen and why it did after we experience it. The only time I've seen fire situations that cost lives or properties is in movies and on the news, I've never seen one happen close to me.
But I do know exactly what it means to want to save what you could when that eventually happens... Saving my family will definitely come in first for me as the question said. Escaping fire would put one's mind a state of confusion and instability but what I'm so sure of is that, anyone going through that would think fast on what to save out of the fire.
If such were to happen to me and I've saved my family...
While running back in to save that one thing I can only think of to be the best that I take out, I wouldn't be able to help crying over my beautiful new clothes and shoes I had wanted to use for a party, my precious bed that takes all my stress away at night and even during the day, my favourite bag that goes with almost all my wears and my family frame. Well, I'd also remind myself that I could get all that again after the fire problem is sorted out.
The one thing I'll go back for will be my phone (this tiny little thing)
It got all I just need to survive after the fire has taken so much from me already. There will be great losses for sure when we recover from the fire and life has got to continue after... This is why I need my phone back.
My phone has my Hive keys in it: I do have the keys on a hard copy but very perishable with fire so I'm guessing it is still very safe in my phone.
My phone has all my documents in it: My school different certificates, my training certificates, my national identity cards, my birth and local identity certificates, all of that are almost difficult to get again so I made sure to have them in my phone which I can show to get new ones.
My phone is the one thing I'll rescue out of the fire for many reasons, but most importantly for the information it carries for me.
