Wallets and purses are more likely to be saved from a house fire than pets, at least in Queensland.
Queenslanders fleeing their burning homes are more likely to take their wallets and leave their pets.
Wallets, purses and handbags topped the list of items householders would save first, beating pets, a driver's licence, cash, passport and even photographs.

I know that I would save of my pets before any possession. I thought everybody would. Pets are family members.
Opinions, please.
Edited to add - I might forget to save the two goldfish in my son's room but i would feel guilty afterwards if I did.
