Sorry to hear about the fire!
If the original house stopped being your principal residence due to an "involuntary conversion" [destroyed by fire] and you purchased a replacement residence within two years the general repayment rules apply to the new principal residence as if it were the converted home.
For this year's return (and going forward), on the screen Tell Us About Your Homebuyer Credit mark the first radio button - Yes, and the home we received the credit for was still our main home on January 1, 2016.
