Yes, very likely you would have a marital claim to these items
destroyed in the fire if they were purchased with joint marital assets,
and therefore would likely be well advised to compile a list of what was destroyed and the approximate fair market value of each and the amount of the settlement which your wife supposedly received for these items.
Such a list could then come in handy whenever you may be ready to start negotiating a property settlement agreement with your spouse
when you could then put forward your claim for reimbursement for your
rightful share of what your wife received in this settlement.
