Hmmm...Homer does have a point...magnesium wheels when they catch on fire can't be put out...maybe I should save those...this question is harder than I thought...
That's a good point. You can't go wrong by removing anything flammable that can't be put out from the vicinity of the fire.
When my range caught fire my first summer here (see my blog for details if you're interested), I turned the gas off before fleeing the apartment. The firemen came up several flights of stairs in full gear, busted up my range, and covered my entire kitchen floor with glass shards. After they came back down, one of them commented to me that my turning off the gas was a good move. So I think you're right to remove the mag wheels so that the fire can be put out.
As an aside, the best part of this was when I called my landlord to tell him what happened. He was surprisingly calm about it, and he wanted to know if I thought the range was salvageable. I was going, "uh, no, I don't think so. I think I'm going to need a new one." He came over to see the literal hatchet job the firemen did on it, and all he said was, "Mmm, yeah, we're going to need to replace this." Understatement of the century. That poor range looked like the fax machine from the Office movie.
The CWRU version is:
"If your refrigerator caught on fire, and you could only save one vegetable in it, what would it be?"
👍
That question would allow the interviewer to immediately know which interviewees read SDN.

There's only one thing. We'd have to edit your question to ask which FRUIT you would save. Yes, you read correctly. Eggplants are actually fruits. They also apparently possess, ahem, aphrodesiac properties in some circles. Feel free to
read for yourself.
The most blasphemous quote from this site: "But the average American, by and large, shuns the eggplant, consuming but four ounces of the fruit per year."
As for me, I will choose to save the love apples, and shun the mad apples.
