one of my best friend's record collection was involved in a fire while he was out of the country recently. he had them stored at a high school friend's place, which was almost completely gutted by fire. we spent several days retrieving and sorting thru 9 postal crates full of smoke-damaged record sleeves -- but somewhat miraculously, almost all of the records still play just fine. a few are a bit warped, and I bet his current set of needles won't last long, but mainly just sleeve damage and the wondrous scent of campfire and burnt plastic.
