In case of Disaster in ur home

[Mrs. Tuberski]

In case of a disaster what would you grab trying to escape ur home.
We just had a fire class and were told of the escape exits u need to have for u and ur family. I am like for god sake we live on the 2nd floor there is no escape route besides jumping out of the window. We have no fire escape. For me id grab a few sheets my kids and husband and throw our cats out the window if they are in the room we are in. How bout you??

I'd take a pretty rosary that I got for my confirmation. It's small, easy to carry, and it goes with me everywhere I go. Of course I live out in the country, so it's not as difficult to get out of the house, and we don't need to worry about fire escapes.

Anyone that's inside... aside from that, nothing. It's just material junk. Well, alright, I would take my potter's wheel if it didn't weigh a ton.


Why would you take sheets?

depends on disaster. Raging fire? Nothing. Or maybe my computer.

What makes you think that? Fire doesn't burn any slower in the country.

I don't need to jump out of the window to get out of my house.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

id grab sheets to climb out the windows so as we dont jump to our broken legs

[Theben]

My cat, and if time, the momentos from my grandparents.

[Tuberski]

Cats would be the last thing I'd grab, all you have to do is open the door and they'd bail on you anyway.

ACK!

Yes, you'd just need to walk through a raging fire. A window to jump out of during a fire is actually a blessing. Being in a bungalow doesn't really mean you'll have a less difficult time escaping from a fire.

I don't think that's a realistic plan for a fire. It's not likely that you would have the time to tie the sheets together and climb down. If anything, tossing pillows or something out first would probably be the best bet if you've got small children, otherwise it's best to just jump. (assuming we're tlaking second story)

Maybe I happen to live on the first floor, near the front door. Why does this thread bother you so much General Ludd?

[Mrs. Tuberski]

Sorry GL but if the fire was in my living room the only window we have is in the bed room and out that window is a pile of rocks and stuff and since i have a king size mattress it might be better and faster to tie the sheets then try to fold the mattress and get it out the window

[Pekka]

Ok in case of fire.. well, I see what I can save and when I have to stop saving stuff. Computer. I don't have anything else, so it was easy. Done.

In case of a fire, I'd grab my high school diploma and my college diploma. And my two books "The 48 Laws of Power" and the "47 Ronin".

My sister never graduated high school nor college, and the two books mean more to me than normal.
