[Tagging] emergency=fire_alarm_box

[osm.tagging at thorsten.engler.id.au]

Just because something “can be found just about anywhere” isn’t really a valid argument for not mapping it.

 

If someone is doing detailed indoor mapping of building and wants to map emergency features, the location of fire alarms is certainly something I would consider to be worthwhile mapping.

 

Also, when someone is looking for a fire alarm, I don’t think it really matters if it’s fire alarm box nailed to a pole on the street or one of these small ones you find inside buildings. Either one will get the fire fighters informed and into roughly the right location.

The first thing fire alarm box brought to my mind was the common "Break glass" fire alarms http://www.az100years.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/photodune-781034-fire-alarm-s.jpg, which are found just about everywhere, so would be virtually unmappable?

 

Is there risk of confusion between the two?




Thanks
