Jennifer: It sounds like you might want to check on permit history regarding the house, and see the seller disclosure, if any. If there was a fire and or electrical work done typically permits are required. That said, a home inspection can detect what is visible only. A thermal scan could be helpful to determine unusual moisture conditions or missing insulation, but generally won't detect fire damage.
