Objects in post-fire environments often undergo irreversible physical transformations that change their geometry, material state, and visual appearance. Detecting and identifying these remnants is critical for locating hazards, reconstructing pre-incident contents, and inventorying losses. Unlike standard image corruptions, these degradations affect the physical structure of the object itself. To study this setting, we introduce TRACE, a transformation-aware benchmark for post-fire object understanding. TRACE contains 21.4K real-image-grounded synthetic scenes and paired object-level pristine-
