What would you save in a fire?

Had the unpleasant experience of the Palisades fire nearly burning my house down. As in, I left driving through a firestorm and when I returned all except the actual structure was blackened. I then had to choose what to take with me before fire makes it way back the other side of the hill (which it’s doing now) and stuff my car. I was able to take about 300 out of 10k records, 2 turntables (one that is 250 lbs and almost gave me a hernia), my DAC, 2 phonostages… but had to leave my Aleph 1.2 monoblocks and speakers. Although I did also save 4 TAD woofers, 2 compression drivers, 2 horns and tweeters. I left everything else, spare a shirt and underwear.

I know it sounds materialistic or petty, but the music means everything to me. My wife saved 20 pairs of shoes haha. My question for you is… if you had to choose quickly, what would you save? Would your system make the cut?

I used to live in sh1thole California until our house was destroyed in the 1977 sycamore canyon fire, 230 hoes burned down because of the Santa Ana winds. 
We had the same issues like no management of growth in the hills and when fire trucks were going up the canyon, they would stop at a fire hydrant, hook up their hose and no water, so they per going.

Moved out of state and was glad we did. Part of the loan we got, I bought a $7000 audio system to replace my system that got destroyed. 
California residents need to know there are consequences of how you vote because they voted these idiots into office: newscum, the mayor of la: DEI at it finest work.

Get rid of these idiots, build reservoirs, and start forest management.

How are the electric fire trucks working out for LA without any power to charge them? It doesn’t get any better than this!!!
