I'd call the insurance company first.
I worked for over 10 years in sales within the automotive field. I would deal with about 2-3 fires in mechanic shops per year. We sold tools, equipment and tool boxes in these shops. I can tell you that you can clean up the chrome and painted areas of a tool box and make them look fairly decent, however, somewhere between over night and a few weeks, they will begin to look horrible again.
If at all possible, I'd try to get insurance to total it. A good insurance company will go ahead and total it because they know what I just described. A not so good insurance company will pay to have it cleaned and then you'll fight with them later for another claim.
Good luck
