Haha when I saw this I was thinking... "The fire's getting close to you too?" (Southern California fires, if you haven't heard). I was so sure the fires were gonna get my FC (couldn't drive it away since...well... it doesn't go anywhere), but they managed to put them out maybe 5-10 miles from my house.

depends how much fire damage if you can get away with replacing necessary wire, vacuum lines and soft rubber hoses and of course the pulsation damper info here http://mazdatrix.com/c-pulsation.htm take care of your fc bro any 7 is worth it especially if the engine runs or in your case ran. I bet odds it wont start cause fuel injector wires are burnt.

YOU are very lucky. You should sell your 7 and help with the donations to one of the local red crosses. Any bidders?
