I would like to see better pictures but here are some thoughts:
1. It almost looks like I am seeing some yellowing leaves with dead (brown) leaves behind them closer to the trunk. If that is the case, it wouldn't be fireblight. When fireblight strikes a limb, everything is demolished back to the point where the infection eventually stops.
2. Fireblight generally strikes mid spring to late spring rather than at this time of year. Also the leaves turn extremely black rather than brown. Those leaves are not the color of limbs killed with fireblight that I have witnessed.
3. Several apple diseases (including common scab) can yellow leaves and eventually turn them brown. It is hard to differentiate what the disease is without a close inspection.
4. I'm not saying it can't happen, but I have never seen fireblight go that deep into the limbs of a mature tree. Pictures can be deceiving, but it looks as if the dead leaves go all the way back to the trunk. A tree that susceptible to fireblight should have encountered it years ago and probably died a long time ago rather then being affected by it for the first time this late in life.
5. The first thing I noticed about those pictures was the deep shade that tree appears to be in. I wonder if part of the problem is lack of sunlight - especially at the bottom of the tree, which can lead to many problems. Apple tree struggle when they are deprived of sunlight, and it makes them more prone to diseases. Also, most tree species shed lower limbs when they lack sunlight.
Good luck with your trees.
