My bldg had an electrical fire. 1 month later the bldg still smells. Can you ever get rid of the smell?

Question

I heard you can never get rid of the smell. Is that true? And if so, how do you get rid of it?

Answer 1

Depending on how bad the fire was it can take years to be rid of the smell.But never??All burnt wood has to be removed.

Answer 2

Check with a cleaning company like Service-Master, seems to me they have a special ozone machine that can remove the smell.

Of course no one can be in the building during and for some time after the treatment.
