Based on the Utilitarianism view saving the five lives would create the most happiness for the most people. However, since happiness isn't quantifiable this is still hard to prove. Maybe saving your sibling would actually create the most happiness. What if the other five people wanted to die? Then you have created more unhappiness than previously existed. There really is no concrete answer to a question such as this.

I would save the 5 strangers. And this is the reason why. I for 1 already know that when my sibling is past on he or she would have gone to heaven to live with there heavenly father up in heaven. Just because we had already talked about that long before the fire happened just to make sure they knew for certain they would be going to heaven.
But with the 5 strangers not knowing if they would make it to heaven I would be right there to save them to give them the 2nd chance they need to be able to come to know Christ if they did not know Christ as there Savior. I would want to know for certain like I knew with my sibling that they knew Christ as there savior. And to save them and get back in touch with them would assure me a way of doing that. And still be at peace with my sibling and knowing he or she is better off in heaven.

You turn on the fire alarm, grab your sibling, and between the two of you, you save the five strangers and their dog too.

I would save 5 people because I don't have any brothers or sisters

Depends on the age of the sibling.

I would save as many as I could. It wouldn't matter who they are.
