Hi, My daughter and I were talking about this and were wondering if people are able to pack things that are very important. We were saying that furniture can be replaced but photos can not.

The people first hit with fires didn't have time to save all of their treasures, but I'm fairly certain that everyone who thinks the fire has a reasonable chance of getting to them, have packed their treasured items.

You and you daughter are so right: furniture can be replaced and likely it's insured, but photos and heirlooms and many things of sentimental value can never be replaced.
