How Damaging is Fire?

The temperature of a house fire is 1100 degree Fahrenheit. This means anything it touches will turn to ashes. Plastic, wood and paper, clothes and upholstery will most likely be damaged with no chance of repair. They will either get completely burned or melted as in case of plastic.

However, many household items are made fire resistant. So they will get damaged, but not entirely and can be salvaged. For example, jewelry, silver ware, cooking ware, barbeque grill, some electronic appliances, stonework and items, and of course anything kept in a fire safe can be reused once the fire has been extinguished.
