where can I find cool recessed fire extinguisher cabinets for a commercial building or does that even exist yet?

Any recommendations would be helpful, I am clueless! Thanks!

I have seen the Home Hero in a local Pennsylvania Home Depot store…and as a former marketing and product management lead in for a major home safety products company I recognize hype when I see and read it….The Home Hero at $24.95 is priced at a 250% of the price of a similarly rated (UL 5B:C rating) extinguisher which is typically approximately $10. If Home Depot was so proud of this product and its efficacy, wouldn’t they have listed the rating on the carton prominantly- as it is for all other fire extinguishers? Instead- it is hidden as part of the products model code- Home Depot does it again- scams the consumer.

Ger, yes you can silence them all from one unit.

Nicole, I have heard from some people that they have them in their local HD, but it’s not listed on their website, so I guess you can call first or just go look. I heard they are with the smoke detectors in electrical.

Daniel, I agree strangers would probably struggle with these. Hopefully you don’t have any strangers starting fire in your house when you are not around.

Hello - long time listener, first time caller.

I am all for stylish home products, and the idea of keeping an extinguisher closer to a hazard area is great idea, but… haven’t we all been conditioned to know what a fire extinguisher looks like in an emergency? If I was a guest in your home, I would have no idea to grab the stylish Home Hero as an extinguisher. Educating people of it’s function and use also comes with this new form.

I went to the Hero website and it said that the products weren’t available yet. There was even a form to fill out to get notified when they are. Has anyone actually seen them in HD?

The fire extinguisher is a great idea. It looks kind of like a giant pepper grinder I hope the fire alarms can be reset from any unit. It would be maddening to have all the alarms going off while trying to find the one to reset (during a false alarm).
