Hello,
So first and foremost, this is NOT an Apple Warranty Issue.
However, it is an insurance issue and I need to get some answer. There was a house fire and my mother's Mac Book Pro 2015 was exposed to smoke. At the moment the laptop is fine. However, I need to know if it is possible for smoke to damage the circuits in such a way that the laptop stops working (months) down the line.
Best,
Marc

If the Mac was not running to pull in soot—I hardly see where this would be a issue down stream.
I would not worry about it in the least, if there was no surface damage.
This is a user to user forum.
If you want something official from Apple, take it to a Apple Store
In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /Assessment

Yes, it's possible if soot gets into the fans. If the fans get clogged then the Mac can overheat and stop working.
Thanks! I really appreciate it. Ideally though I would need a response from an official Apple rep.
In addition to what etresoft explained, you won't get a response from an official Apple rep here in these forums. You'll need to contact them directly. You can use the Contact Support link at the top right of every page of these forums.

Sorry, but you aren’t likely to ever get that. Apple never answers those kinds of speculative questions.
Yeah probably not. Still worth a try
Can the smoke of a house fire damage a mac book pro (2015) over time.
