Thanks for all the advice. Spent the entire day cleaning every surface possible and the smell is pretty much gone. I imagine it will be totally gone in a few days. I will try the vinegar for sure if I can still smell it in a few days.
It's really sad that what happened last night was not unique. As far as naming names, I will refrain until the other parties have has a chance to address the situation.
I did take lots of pics and still have the tape roll and chunk of wood. You can also see burn marks inside the furnace.
As far as legal actions goes, the smell is relatively minor and I would rather clean my own home. What's more important is what COULD have happened or what may happen to another family because of this negligence. Also, what else may go wrong here. We've had the outdoor tap burst because they forgot to it turn off inside the house as well.
