No fireblight here in Oregon, but with all the cool, wet weather we've had in May, there is plenty of other crud - shot hole fungus, mildew, pseudomonas, and any number of other things.  I've got plums that set huge crops during a dry spell at bloom time, but the fruit is all covered with spots and marks from the disease since.  They will be edible, but not pretty.
