It doesn't solve the problem of building occupants and FD panicking, but
'smoke' doesn't actually have to be smoke. On TV, they show them using a
fog generator, similar to what DJs used to use for parties, and what
they use shooting movies, to blow non-toxic fog into whatever system
they are testing. Mebbe local DJ/party supply store still has such
devices available to rent. Google shows small ones available for
purchase pretty cheap.
