It would probably shut off if fire hit it, I'm sure there is a thermal
fuse in the motor. I've installed then in convince store cash register
booths to ventilate them when the bullet resistant glass windows are
closed.

I'd be more worried about flooding. With a vent system like that your
walls will no longer be watertight - if the plumbing gives out your
house will sink like a stone. Or something.

A hot air plenum booster fan would be a lot cheaper, but then you
would still have to get the 2 grilles to cover the holes.

I think he means to install it in a home, not in a ship with watertight
compartments and hatches.
It would probably be set in the wall near the ceiling. If floodwaters
get that high, the house is already toast, or in this case, soup.

I've 2 in the walls of my livingroom to transfer heat from the
woodstove. Excellent results.
