Jon-First Strep within 12 hours for trama blight phase of Fireblight. Then after calling my crop insurace agent and having it declared 100% loss with no crop sale potential I would look to protec thte trees from disease.
If there is no hope for fruit sales! I would do a good rate of copper/Manzate to make sure all fireblight shoot blight is shut down. Manzate has a 77day phi so no fruit sales if applied now. I would do several periodic applications of capatan/ziram to ensure that no rots develope in the wood, shoots, trunks- ie black rot, white rot or necteria canker which can get established- the copper will help with the necteria canker.
