### Industrial hygenist report
File a claim to open the process. Ask for an industrial hygienist report. Specifically ask, and then get in writing, an agreement for a pre and post remediation report. If they won't agree, pay for it yourself. It is the only way to know the extent of the smoke damage. You can request reimbursement from insurance later. Once you have the report, you can create a remediation plan. As you can see from other answers, damage can vary depending on location and wind and the structure itself. The report is the only way to know if there are toxins/VOCs in your home.

#### Remediation certifications:
* Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)
* Restoration Industry Association (RIA) Certification

#### Hazardous Clean-Up Info
I just spoke to my cousin on the east coast, he is an expert in hazardous material clean-up (commercial and residential) including ash and all toxins caused by fires like ours. Lots of good info in no particular order:
