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.

Elkins, AR insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
