I managed to circumvent the issue because we had a VESDA (Very Early
Smoke Detection Array) system which we couldn't turn off due to fire
safety requirements and at the time, some years ago now, the minimum
charge for the fire brigade attendance at a false alarm was $3,500.
I created a waiver form for those wanting to use smoke effects in
our building for fashion shows and the like where they signed and
accepted liability for any and all costs associated should their
smoke set off the alarm which would summon the fire brigade. I
explained the workings of the system in detail and in the dozen or
so years this was an issue though many inquired, none ever signed
off and went ahead to use the smoke.
