Sure - that's why I posted days earlier which chips I would save. It was also a great excuse to reshoot Pr0n for a set that I got long before I had a decent digital camera - or understood the "white balance" in digital cameras.
It's less about thinking someone would save chips, and more the reality of running through the fire "movie style" to save a child. The second one sadly has happened. Parental instincts aside, without an early warning, nobody has ever successfully done it. The real instincts should be:
- Make sure your smoke detectors work, and are in every sleeping room
- Make sure everyone has a secondary escape route
- Have a meeting place outside so we done go in to rescue someone that has already gotten out
- Keep your child's bedroom door closed at night. That hollow-core door buys 15 minutes of smoke/fire protection. That is all we need to save anyone in that room.
If everyone is safe, we can focus on the fire. If the fire is unfightable, let the firefighters know that you have rare collectables inside. We will risk much less for chips than we would for a life, but I have been on fires where the house was a total loss, so we redirected efforts to saving antiques and photographs.
