How can I detect if there are any electrical wiring or panels behind dry wall?

I need to drill a hole in some dry wall and mount an anchor hook to hang a 30+lb fire extinguisher. I am concerned about any electrical wiring or panels behind the dry wall. Any suggestions are appreciated.


Answer:
Some of the newer stud finders on the market have a hot electrical wire locator built in.

e.g. http://www.licensedelectrician.com/Store/ZR/i700_Stud_Finder.htm

Take a trip to your favorite hardware/lumber center and see what they have available.

I know my next stud finder purchase will probably include this option.

Regards!
