What if Apollo fire in orbit?

I was wondering - what if the Apollo 1 fire had occurred in orbit -
especially if it was out of contact with the ground at the time. We
wouldn't know what happened - sudden loss of cabin pressure, hit by a
meteor, etc. Would it have been imperative to send up a mission to
find out what happened?
