"Just for the record, If I'm standing waiting for people in front of me to get out, I see no fire then I'm probably going to take my bag."
I have not been in an aircraft fire but I have been in a flat when a fire started. I have seen with my own eyes, and smelt with my own nostrils, how it's the smoke that gets you, not the fire. And you have seconds. Oh OK, minutes if you like - two or three minutes tops. I've no problem if you want to play chicken with your own life by retrieving your bag, but you cannot do that without risking others, which you have no right to do.
