Man on the street: What would you grab in a fire?

'I would take my journal. I'd probably grab my scriptures and scrapbook or whatever pictures I could grab. I'd probably get some quilts that I've made ... and I'd grab my computer or a flash drive or something.'

'I would probably grab my journal — because that can't be replaced — my computer and my dog.'

'I would grab my Social Security card, credit cards ... I guess I'm not very sentimental.'

'I would probably get journals. I don't even have that many journals, so it would be easy because it's my mission journal and that's it. I don't have actual hard copies of pictures, so maybe my computer, because that has a lot of stuff on it.'

'We actually had a house fire last year, or an apartment fire, I should say. We grabbed our computers and phones, and looking back I would do that again because it had all our pictures. (Electronics are) sort of the equivalent of important documents these days.'
