I walked through a house last week that had had a minor fire in the kitchen. Black powdery soot was present in every room, on the walls, ceiling, and floor.
After a few minutes my throat began to burn and I started feeling sick from breathing the air in this house.
I would be very careful buying a house which has had a fire.

John I agree, I would be very leery too, many years ago I worked for an outfit that did fire restoration, talk about these guys milking the insurance companies. I believe that the properties title should contain some information as to the history of the property, such as fire, flood, and so forth, similar to an automobile title.
