I may be a little paranoid but I worry all the time about losing my precious family photos, ID's, etc in a fire. So a long time ago, I talked my husband into purchasing a small fire box. I know it won't guarantee my most precious things will survive a fire - but it gives them a much better chance.
In our fire box, I keep:
all of our birth certificates
our marriage certificate
SS cards
notes/sentimental items from my husband's parents who have passed away
our car titles
memory cards from my camera - they contain all of the pictures of my kids from birth on (I also have some of these on CD and most in Snapfish for backup - and my mother takes most of them so she has copies as well)
And yes - I do realize it makes it easier for someone to steal all that stuff - but I'm pretty sure no one wants my family photos - the benefits outweigh the risks for me.
Amazon is running a deal on these now if you haven't picked one up yet. See what they are offering here.
