The models and sets from the film are ok, they had not been placed in storage at the time of the fire.
Unfortunately anything aardman had made prior to the film was destroyed, old wallace and gromit, creature comforts etc.
A couple of items were on loan to museums etc but most of the companies work was destroyed.
Sad really
