Sorta depends on how hot the fire was and how it was put out. If the fire was a raging gasoline variety and the part was red hot (or hotter) and someone hit it with cold water putting out the fire I suppose it's possible it could have been made brittle. Seems like that would have been a heck of a fire though. Ed
