Main computer and all media containing home-studio music recordings (many are in cassette-only form!)

Fortunately, a majority of heirloom/keepsakes are in storage tubs in our unattached garage ... stacked beneath Christmas decoration s***.

Garage is detached so I'm good to go there. As long as the dog is ok I can replace everything else. Insurance paperwork and photos of everything in the house are stored in a fireproof safe and on Dropbox.

Laptop... For no other reason than I'd be weeks behind at work If I lost it.

Offsite backups of my computer make this a lot easier, since all my photos are digital.

The second would probably be my wallet just to avoid the inconvenience of getting new cards, license, etc.

Don't really have much that I'm too sentimental about.

Firesafe. All the most important documents are in there, including back up hard drives with photos, financial info, etc. while its a 1.5 hour rated safe, I wouldn't take the chance if I didn't have to.

I'd be most worried about all the sticky notes in my office that have passwords to all my various accounts on the internet.

Fire box containing important documents. If I only have time for two items then I assume my piddly fire box won't last in that harsh of a fire. Then I dunno. Probably some chips or something. Carrying all that crap probably would work up an appetite.

I am disappointed in this response from a superhero. Maybe Spiderman is better for this situation. Use his sticky web shooting abilities to snatch valuables.

Well it was limited to two items only and not what one such as I could actually achieve, and my suit and bat mobile are in the bat cave out if harms way.

Since my phone and my wallet are always in my pocket during the day, you didn't specify a time, I'd say a 6 pack of beer and a lawn chair and watch that b***h burn
