The "incomplete" infobox says ''Fire alarms usually only have plastic in front - not glass that needs to be broken.'' However, there are many styles of pull station which do in fact have glass which needs to be broken: [http://s423.photobucket.com/user/wiley207/media/K-8/IMG_3033.jpg.html example].

Just attempted my first transcript... 108.162.249.163 07:22, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Can someone please explain the title text?? When I search for "emergency locker" on google images, I get some disconcerting results... 198.41.243.238 08:20, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Probably means something like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/St-John-Ambulance-Lockable-Cabinet/dp/B003KK6948 Jdluk (talk) 09:36, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
He clearly means something with glass in front of the locker inside. I have in vain tried to find anything like it on the web. --Kynde (talk) 15:07, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
Try http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-2122/Fire-Protection/Fire-Extinguisher-Cabinet-2-1-2-5-lb or https://www.grainger.com/product/ALTA-Fire-Extinguisher-Cabinet-40LU32?s_pp=false&picUrl=//static.grainger.com/rp/s/is/image/Grainger/40LU32_AS02?$smthumb$ (enlarge the image and look at the door handle). I can't find what I remember as the classic with a hammer and instructions in read letters. I suspect I'm dating myself and Randall since it appears there have been some technological changes in the way these cabinets are constructed.198.41.235.95 16:16, 25 January 2016 (UTC)


What I've wanted to do is have a normal one with a fire extinguisher, and next to it have a fireplace with a hammer in the back and a sign that says "In case of glass, extinguish fire." DanielLC (talk) 10:10, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
