1. A method of controlling an agricultural facility for housing a plurality of animals comprising the steps of:
regulating an environment within the agricultural facility with an automated building operational system, the automated building operational system being capable of remote activation between a normal-mode operational condition and a safety-mode condition;
operationally coupling an automated thermal event controller with the automated building operational system; and
generating a thermal event signal in response to a thermal event in progress;
whereby the automated thermal event controller, upon receipt of the thermal event signal indicating that the thermal event is in progress, activates an alarm state at which the automated thermal event controller:
sends an alarm signal to a system administrator;
places the automated building operational system in the safety-mode condition for a first predetermined time interval; and
places the automated building operational system in the normal-mode operational condition after the first predetermined time interval and if a confirmatory signal is not yet then received from the system administrator.
