You know the funny thing is this actually happened to me. One day my home burned down and I lost everything. Some stuff I collected inside after the fire, like I have somewhere pair of scissors and the heat was so high that some glass in vicinity melted filling one of the two holes in the scissors.
So I can really advise people. I mean what did I learn out of that? Of course majority of stuff can be replaced, especially now then a decade or so ago, you should preserve unique stuff like photographs (but then again even that people save today on the internet); camera and if you have some family memorabilia or if you have some forgotten works of Shakespeare (like in "Bullets Over Broadway").

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
