If there was a fire and you could grab only 1 thing, what would you grab? HINT: This site is called PIPES MAGAZINE.
1 Thing?

Excluding anything living, it would have to be my Gan 11 M Pro. My pipes come second to my cubes.
No idea what the boxes designate but, I'd call the dog, leave the house and call the FD. Should time permit, I get the vehicle out of the garage. Insurance will cover all of the "stuff", so nothing need be grabbed.
It happens so fast you don't think about anything but getting you and your loved ones out.
Just get out. I’ve lost track of how many people went back in to grab one more thing and died.
That's coming from a pro... pay attention everyone!
I think it's a good frame of mind to mentally prepare yourself for before it happens so you're well sorted and know what the drill ought to be. No material possession is worth the risk to your life.
I'd say the same for robberies.
It's amazing what some people risk (and lose) their lives over.
I've got that all planned out ? ....... but what you plan to do when and if there's a fire in your house can always go sideways very quickly. It's tough to plan what to do when there are fires and robberies.
But I think I'd grab my wife, the dog and some kind of shoes. Then I'd sit there on the sidewalk wondering if my safe is really going to protect my valuables and, "did anyone see the cat come out?"

My external hard drive. I all my pictures and important documents scanned on it including by-yearly video of the property and belongings.
I'd grab my phone, the screen would light, I'd be aware of notifications on Facebook, I'd check those, then check other media, notica the battery is low, search for charger, charge, look at the clock to find out if the kids are at school or not, think about why I am here at this time of day, go look out the kitchen window to gauge the weather, maybe check my phone again, then maybe remember I just had another kid 6 months ago that is not at school, spend some time trying to remember where I put her last, grab something random, like a slice of bread or a broomstick and rush outside to see if she is indeed in the stroller as I hope she is.
Yeah, the people and the animals and anything they have in their pockets, on their backs, or around their necks. Then, car keys, phone, wallet, only if time permitted.
Piss on it and hope it's not a chemical fire.
the cat. Certainly the cat. Pipes are awesome but there are replacements for those.
Well, I can answer this definitively, as I just had a house fire a week ago. The only material object I took with me was my phone to call 911.
