Replanting a new tree after removal of one

Question

We have just removed a 10 yr old miniature crab tree (including the root ball) after the diagnosis of fire blight. The question is: Is it safe to replant another tree of our choice in the same spot? If the answer to that is yes, do we have to treat the soil in a particular way first?
