why do some burn victims die months after being exposed to the fire?

I was reading about some burn victims from summer fires in Greece, and some succumbed to their burns more than 3 months after they were originally exposed to the flames. Shouldn’t they be in the clear at that point given burn wounds heal over time?

I might of missed it, but being a past fire fighter, damage to the lungs on breathing in burning chemicals, particals and such, do not not only have an imediate effect, but long lasting including death in some cases.
