David, you can find lots of policies regarding smudging online particularly University or Colleges. I have some links and documents i can send you if you want. We do spiritual smudging at home and although it does produce significant smoke, I haven’t set off any alarms (yes, they do work!).

Sorry I do not have any first hand experience with Agni practices.
