There was a fire in center console. The wires melted and the dash is not working. Do you think this worth fixing?

I have a 2003 Altima. I had a fire in my center console and it melted the wires beneath it and now the dash is not working. The speedometer, gas gauge, etc. do not work. How bad of a situation is this? Is it worth getting fixed considering I need to replace the entire interior because of smoke and soot damage?

I doubt that it will be economical to repair this damage, I would first get a quote for the wiring loom, and make a decision after you have that information.
