If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Calimesa, CA fire claims get partially denied.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Calimesa properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.
