One of the things I've told people in fire zones was to dig a pit in their backyard and bury their important things before the fires get close. Papers, pictures, important documents and whatnot. I've also advised to wrap up their electronics with plastic wrap, a bin liner and a bit of silica gel and bury those too. You'd only need a few inches of dirt over the top to protect the cover.
That way, you've got nothing to hold you back or weigh down your car if you have to leave. And if you know your stuff is protected, you'll feel a lot better about leaving sooner instead of waiting it out.

I hope you're safe where you are, mate.
