The good news is that the house didn't burn down and all the computers seem fine (even though the vinyl blinds right above where my computers are located are melted). There is heavy smoke damage to the entire house, and heat at the ceiling was at least 900 degrees in some parts of the house.
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with cleaning a motherboard / PC internals after a fire. I am sure that the chemicals/acid/soot in the smoke could cause problems over time and so the equipment should be cleaned as thoroughly as possible. I'm running commodity desktop systems, so it may be cheaper to just buy new ones and migrate the data and applications. But then again, we've got at least 5 PC's to deal with, so buying 5 new PC's, then migrating everything would be expensive and time-consuming.
