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.

Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Oakland, PA fire claims get partially denied.
