My Burning House Submission

"Foster Huntington's The Burning House captivated my attention from it's first day. I've always felt prepared that in case of an emergency I could easily grab one prepared bag full of important items and be out the door with my dog, but the majority of those items are aimed solely at survival. This was something new - in the case of a fire, I would not need to "survive", but capture life's most meaningful items. Here are a few of the things I would instantly snatch up, throw in a bag, and be out the door. Items are detailed below. With these items I believe I could protect important memories and be able to survive, to some extent.
