Can electronics be saved if dry chem extinguisher used on them?

++++

We had a fire aboard a vessel yesterday. A dry chemical extinguisher was used. What measures can be taken to stop/prevent damage to marine electronics after a dry chem fire extinguisher has been discharged into the dashboard area. Is there anything that can be sprayed to flush and neutralize components or are they destined to failure soon?
