Brooke Hitchcock's blog inspired me to write this piece :)
House fires are devestating. A simple mistake and your house, along with all your posessions you've been saving your whole life can be destroyed within minutes. You stand outside so your safe from the excruciating flames but you watch as everything special to you burns to the ground. This really got me thinking, if my house caught on fire... These are the items I would make sure to grab before I got myself out.
1.) My cat, Stripes would be my first priority. As much as I love my family I know they can fend for themselves and would be able to get themselves out of the house safely, but on the other hand my kitty would have no idea. I consider my cat a member of my family and if he wasn't able to get out we would all be devestated. I'm sure with the alarms, smoke, and flames he would be in total panic so anything I could do to get him out safely with me I would do, no doubt.
2.) Next, would be all my photographs and my camera. I probably have 300 pictures hung up in my room alone but I would do my best to get everything I could. Pictures represent memories, good, bad, and ugly, and if they were to be demolished in a fire I don't know what I would do with myself. Pictures are a main component of how I live my life. If I'm ever having a terrible day all I have to do is step foot in my room and I am immeditaley reminded of such amazing things I've been able to expirience in my life. To me, pictures are what makes up for what the brain can't do; they remind us of the small but remarkable details we would otherwise forget.
3.) Finally, I would grab my purse. I honestly think I could live out of there for atleast a week. My purse could be compared to a Grandma's purse because if you want it, I have it! Toothpaste... check. Water... check. Cell phone... check. Hand sanitizer... check. Anything else you need? Well, my bet is I have it in the massive black hole I call a purse.

I like how you wrote about what you would try to get first.
ReplyDeleteVery good blog. Good job describing what you will try to save first.
ReplyDeleteIf my house is on fire, I would get all my valuable items and run out the front door.
Good job Rachel, I probably would just grab as much as I could in the short time I would have!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to have inspired you to write this! I think you did a really good job with it, I think it's interesting to see what other people would save first if they were in that situation.
