If her dorm catches fire

That would never happen! At least Victoria hoped not.
"If my dorm ever catches on fire." Victoria started to say.
"I really couldn't take anything with me, because the fire would spread fast and we have to get out of there as quickly as possible." She hoped she just gave a reasonable answer. It kind of seemed quite selfish to others answer because they all mentioned to take their pets with them.
"Of course, I would take my dog but she's pretty fast and smart, and will get out of there probably faster than me."
