Fire and smoke damage?

Literally about 30 minutes ago, there was a grease fire in my house. My dad was cooking with grease, and went to the garage for 10 minutes, and the grease ignited. There is a duct in the kitchen that connects directly to my bedroom. So, within 10 minutes, my room was extremely hot, and chock full of white thick smoke - it was choking me.

Anyways, here's my question.

Is it possible for thick smoke from a fire (usually containing soot), to damage an iMac?

Oh, if it helps, the Fire department sprayed a fire extinguisher in my room, too.

Can that damage an iMac? I'm going to the Genius Bar on Tuesday to have the HDD replaced, so maybe I should have them inspect the iMac, right?

 

Would AppleCare cover it? Or would it go through our homeowners insurance?

There wasn't like an actual huge fireball. The pan just lit on fire, and the whole house was filled with smoke. There wasn't fire or 1000º temperatures near the iMac - just thick smoke, if that helps.

 

Darn it.

I think the deductible for our homeowners insurance is almost as much as I paid for this iMac.

 

My Mom smokes..... a lot.




No, grease fires aren't the norm at my place. No offense to my Mom's BF (I just call him my Dad), but he isn't the brightest crayon in the box, to say the least...
