So you live in rural area and the nearest fire station is 30 minutes away. It will take the fire truck 25 minutes to respond if there is a fire.

Your house is on fire and the fire is spreading quickly. You managed to escape with your younger siblings but your parents are still inside. 10 minutes later, the house is completely engulfed in flames and your parents are still inside. Your father is upstairs yelling for help outside the bedroom window while your mother made it to the kitchen on the first floor. What would you do?

I'll be saving my mother since there should be water in the kitchen

It takes the fire truck 25 minutes to respond if it's on fire? Why is the truck on fire? XDD

Also, I think kuma-kuma's answer is backwards. Wouldn't you want to save the one who doesn't have water?

That being said, I'd save my mother since she's easier to get to, and tell my father to jump out the window.

And why would you have stood there for 10 minutes doing nothing? This poll is written kind of badly..

use your imagination :D (maybe your younger siblings are begging you not to go. maybe fire dept. lied and said that they would be there in 10 minutes.)

Wait, because I'd probably have been the one who set the fire and elaborately closed all exists after I escaped, knowing the fire department would be too late :3

My mum. My dad's smart enough and awesome enough to find out how to get out by himself. Not to mention he's heavy.

If there is a ladder available close by I'd put it up for my dad, other then that I would not try to enter the house because if my parents are not able to get out themselves I probably wouldn't make it out even if I would go after them.

I would save my dad because he isn't able to jump out a window without injuring himself seriously. A window could be near the kitchen and my mother would climb out from there.

i wouldnt be in this situation since i hate living in the sticks... developed areas FTW

but if there was a fire in my house, id run and grab the fire extinguisher and start by saving the nearest person, then work my way in.

It may sound harsh, but I'd save my dad. He wouldn't be yelling for help unless he actually needed it, and a jump from the second floor can be just as dangerous as the fire. If my mom made it to the kitchen, she can make it out of the house.

Pfft, you act as if weak old me could possibly save my dad. I would be saving my mom, since I know I can't live without her. I love my dad, too, but my mom is really important to me. =/

And shouldn't dads be tough and save themselves?
