Honestly. I had a fire in early November. Got the kids and dog out to my car, called 911 and went in to quickly assess the situation. Once I realized that there was nothing I could do about the fire, I closed the door to that room(not because I thought it was what I was supposed to do, just a quick natural reaction) and got out.. Luckily the damage was limited to that room, plus some smoke damage to the entire upstairs, and a little water damage downstairs..
My collectibles honestly didn't cross my mind.. Possibly because they were the furthest away possible from the fire(smoke) in my house. And luckily, not under that room, the water from the firehose causes a bit of damage itself.. Maybe the fact that there was minimal odds of damage came into play, BUT also, it might've just been that ultimately, they're not that important in a life or death situation..
