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.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
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.
Garden City, MO insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Garden City 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.

Not always — a contained fire may only mean staying out of the affected rooms.
As soon as the fire department releases the property — delay lets soot and odor set in deeper.

Job size doesn't matter — the same process applies whether it's one room or the whole structure.
