Yes it's quite a drastically sad thought. But more of a philosophical one, and the answer tells a lot about you.
To be honest I would be happy if just me and my family got out safely. But if a bush fire was coming and I had about an hour to prepare, I would take all the unusual things I couldn't replace. The most important things would be my computer (my giant iMac that didn't fit into the picture), camera and hard drive with photos (and old photo albums).
This photo shows the other things that I couldn't live without. It was taken to submit to Burning House which is a blog created by Foster Huntington focusing on this question. This blog is so original and a wonderful insight into a person's psyche. Check it out here.

What would you take with you if your house was burning?
Great stuff..but the important matter on that situation is just to secure your self because material thing could easily back while life is a precious thing..it could never be back one's it was taken.
