How can I get a smog certificate when I had an electrical fire that shorted out?

What is your question?

A small electrical fire that sent smoke into the cab, but quickly burned itself out, is preventing me from getting it smogged. The truck runs fine, but no diagnostic connection can be made. Would this situation qualify me for an extension with DMV allowing me more time to find someone to run down the wiring problem & fix it? Not sure what direction to go in.
