The term brick, strictly speaking, refers to an unrecoverable condition. The implication is the thing is now only an inert brick.

However, it seems the term is now applied to recoverable, pseudo-brick conditions, and there are unbricking methods, but I'd still think the answer depends on the particular brick condition.

I say this from general knowledge, not having used any of the Fire tools specifically.

(I still maintain that if you can 'unbrick' something, short of opening it up and replacing components, it was never really bricked.)
