There might be a bit you can do if you have a few details, thanks to other documents being digitized and OCR'ed.
My great uncles both died in WWII and their service records were destroyed in this fire. I had been able to piece together a few details by googling their names (somewhat unique) with the services they were in, which lead me to digitized unit yearbooks and eventually other documents. For one of my great uncles, we found a unit report that included a redacted version of the silver star citation he earned.
