I've been in contact with the tower correspondent today and he has been and done an initial visual inspection, and tower and bells appear to be in tact and unharmed.  It is currently not known however if the ringing chamber floor has been affected by the fire, so until such time as safety can be guaranteed ringing is suspended.
