The purpose of Ceiling Vents is to provide Ventilation in a room where it may be necessary, such as a Science Lab.

They can also be used to help deal with a fire.

Are there any dangerous risks to installing an outdoor ceiling fan?

Is ceiling sag covered?
Very unlikely. Refer to your Insurance Policy schedule of covered perils. You will see things like, Fire. Wind, Hail, lightning.

Where is a good place to purchase outdoor ceiling fans?
While you can purchase outdoor ceiling fans at Home Depot, or Lowes, you'll still need some type of ceiling on which to install them. It's also a good idea to make sure everything is installed securely as you can cause an electrical fire with loose, or not well insulated wire.
Is there a fire hazard in leaving the electric fans on during the day when nobody is home and are ceiling fans or free standing fans more dangerous?
The 'FIRE HAZARD' is the SAME as that of leaving any other appliance unattended. Besides the obvious waste of electricity and the extra wear and tear on the equipment, there should be some valid reason for doing it. Remember, that a running fan uses power and this generated heat. If you are always forgetful (like me), then perhaps investing in an automatic shut-off timer would be wise. If there are animals that would be left uncomfortable, make sure that there is nothing else (besides the fans) that they could get into to cause a fire. Besides circulating air, ceiling fans only benefit a person if they are actually in the room to feel the air, they should be turned off and not left to run all day.
What are the things that are on the ceiling that spray when a fire starts?
The devices on ceilings that spray water when a fire starts are called sprinklers.
