While most people associate fire with soot there are a plethora of other side affects that fire leaves in its wake affecting you and your home. 

If there is a wild fire close to your home you make experience some of the soot that is left over from the flames that blew towards your home direction. You may also experience a different side effect much further down the road that you thought would leave with the soot cleaning, odor.  

While most peoples first thought about a fire outside your home or even inside your home may not be odor, maybe it should be. Odor from a fire can last for months or even a year if it goes improperly treated. When cleaning your home from a fire whether inside or out you need to make sure the duct system is cleaning throughout your home as well as a deodorization and an ozone treatment are performed on your home. The ozone and deodorization will not make too much of a dent in the smell in the duct system is not cleaned. 

The duct system can hold odors and soot itself that is never seen by the naked eye, only smelled. You can also have this smell in your home if you leave your home to air out while a controlled burn is taking place. 

Controlled burns take place often in high agriculture areas and even Florida to help the environment get rid of unwanted plants and rejuvenate the soil.
