There were not enough time to get anything at all, not even your phone, keys, or wallet, you have nothing besides your clothes and any disability aids (like glasses, hearing aids, etc.). Anything that can’t sustain one hour of burning will be destroyed. All living beings are safe.

Things to thing about: money, sentimental stuff, journals, books, hard drives / digital data, and all of the time and effort you spend organizing your bedroom.

    I am sorry you had to go through this.

    My advice: Get a fireproof box for the important stuff. Social security cards, birth certificates, etc.

    This is a good idea. I will have to pick one up. It doesn’t have to be that big.

    And this may sound stupid, but write down the serial number of literally everything you own because the insurance company will absolutely try to fuck you and you will have to make an itemized list of pretty everything you ever owned.

    A video walk-around showing everything in a good amount of detail also helps a lot.
