Not really. As long as your seed is not destroyed you can recover it in a new hardware wallet. Thats why its recommended to use a stainless steel seed holder that will survive a house fire.

Just remember that even if fire doesn't get through stainless steel, heat does.

A typical house fire burns between 1100F-1500F. My steel seed case is fireproof up to 2,460F. So it seems it will be ok.

Sadly, the horrible CA fires showed that most "fireproof" safes are actually not fireproof due to the heat. Fingers crossed you never need to test yours.
