If your house was burning, what would you take with you? It’s a conflict between what’s practical, valuable and sentimental. That is a tough thing to think about in a few seconds. This could be one of the best interview questions ever, and such a interesting study of character. It’s even more interesting to SEE people’s answers in a photograph!
That´s what The Burning House website has been documenting as it gathers creative, touching and weird submissions from all over the world…
What would your emergency kit look like?
Be fast, otherwise you will just find ashes…

Thx for stopping by, Eric!!!
THIS IS AMAZING! WOW.
Thks! It is something that we don´t think about at all and it´s cool to know that everybody is unique with quit different personality, needs, etc…
So cute…and interesting!;)
Thx for stopping by!!!!
This is so cool, I love this concept!
It is super cool, huh? Thx for visiting!
The one with the stuffed blue thingy cracks me up. The one with the gun? Slightly freaky.
I know…you can kinda guess people´s personality through the pics!
this post is sweet! loads of things to look through hehe 🙂 I like these photo sets, great idea!
Thx a lot, Vasare! Hope to see you soon here!
Great idea for a website.
I know, we thought it was extremely interesting and we had to post it, Sam!
nice collection of photos.
this is a question i have always asked myself.
these days i would just grab the laptop and the camera. lol
That is cool that you have the answer for this question, cuz I think it´s so tough to pick what is valuable, sentimental and bla… thx for stopping by, Pacha!
Interesting site with interesting post. I really like your stuff. Congratulations! 🙂
Thx a bunch, Elm! Hope to see you soon here!
Beautiful pics! I’d have to grab the old photo albums (all the stuff that’s not online) and my favorite worn in sweater.
Old photo albums is a for sure in my list! The rest? I still don´t have the answer… thx for passing by, Angela!!
I think i would probably burn it! Swear that i still trying to decide! looooool Love this post!!!!!
Thx for passing by, Brazilian Wax!!!
I would take 1. my computer. 2. my furniture- what can i say? i am an interior designer 🙂
Hahahah…that is a good one, Lavita Petite! Thx for visiting us!
We blogged about this site too, it’s really nice. Btw, love the new lay-out! I think it makes the photo’s stand out more.
Oh, that is really cool! Thx for the feedback!
I like the execution and the images for this project, and will link to Chiquero from my blog, Crossings.
Thanks for the visuals…
Hey alexander, how r you?
I love this project, pretty amazing ahn?
Yhanks for the link, best
Always have an emergency bag packed I say. It’s interesting to see what people would want to save, I wonder if they’d have time to go to all the places to grab them though in a matter of seconds or minutes.
hahaha not sure if they would have the time to save this stuff.. I think I would be lost like a “headless” chicken. LOL
What a creative post, I love it.
Unfortunately, I KNOW you would not like to see the OH SO BORING picture of my file box containing all of our certificates of births, deeds, ssn #’s, and titles.
That is what I would take with me.
I know I sound boring, but running out of the house buck naked with only a huge file box to cover my “stuff” actually sounds kind of interesting, doesn’t it? LOL
It seems like they had too much time to think about what they were going to bring with them. In a fire you really don’t have that much time to decide unless it was preplanned. Seems very staged and thought out.
Only my puppy! Everything else is just stuff.

You can tell who someone is by a picture of their most prized possessions. I like the idea!
