Everyone here says wallet, phone.. but do you really need your phone? I guess if it's worth $400, but wallet? I carry like $20 in cash. I can get replacement credit cards anyday, but honestly, I would go and grab my 5 hard drives. Thank goodness for drive rails, but 1.1 TB of data is irreplaceable.

Honestly, Iw ould grab the things that can't be replaced. Photos, etc... whatever I can't get back easily.

As much as I love gadgets like my phone, that is low on my priority because I know I can just buy another some day later.

I think I would also grab my guinea pig because I just love him too much. But other than that, burn my stupid Opteron. i'll get a Core 2 Duo =).

The purpose of the phone would be to make emergency calls and arrangements, not to protect the phone.

fire extinguisher,
try to put out the fire before it gets big.'

If already big, get my G/F Out, if she is here;
try to get my keys/wallet, and work cell; and call 911 as I go out an exit......

Nothing in my house is worth burning up,trying to save. {I have no children.}
