Soot webs, also known as soot tags

"Soot webs" or "soot tags" are a common occurrence after fires, especially in homes or buildings where there has been significant smoke and soot exposure. These are not actually created by spiders but are the result of the interaction between smoke particles. These patterns occur in low circulation areas after a fire. As the heat circulates into colder spaces, soot particles follow in chain-like formations and create webbed structures.
