Excellent comments above. I especially agree with Don - odor is an issue. Soot is another big issue. Fire residue in carpet can be next to impossible to restore. Encap-HydrOx may work, depending on what the smoke residue contained. And as mentioned above, HWE would be the best way to go. For my money, unless you're prepared to be a restoration specialist, I would pass on this one - some jobs just aren't worth messing with. In fact, I'd think that most insurance companies would consider writing off the carpet and recommend replacing it.
