This is the main reason that I said in an earlier post that, other than losing your personal irreplaceable items, a total loss is not a bad option. I was a firefighter back in the day and water and smoke damage is no joy. I can't imagine your home would ever be really the same. Just my opinion.
The one thing we haven't mentioned here is that in both recent fires the Villagers true spirit came out and these people were welcomed with open arms into their neighbor's homes for as long as they need. Truly a communal spirit in TV!
