AS PASSENGERS DEPLANED THE FORWARD FA'S REPORTED FUMES. I WALKED OUTSIDE TO SEE IF THE FUMES WERE OUTSIDE THE AIRCRAFT. THEY WERE NOT. WHEN I RE-ENTERED THE AIRCRAFT THE FUMES WERE GONE. THE APU AIR WAS STILL ACTIVE(ON). ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER FA'S REPORT TO FO MORE FUMES. (CAPT WAS NOT ON BOARD). FO TURNS OFF APU AIR AND FUMES ABATE. COCKPIT AND CABIN HAVE NO FUMES . THEN.
