This has much to do with how the air conditioner and the heater is vented.

If the air conditioner draws its air from outside it could be picking up air / smell of smoke from the other family and then redistributing it into your home.

A heater on the other had usually has a heater input vent within the house it is heating (it draws the interior air in and then heats it blowing it back out) as the air within the home will be significantly warmer than the exterior air.

I assume you mean smoke and water are coming from the A/C vents. I suspect you are seeing steam and coolant.
