The same problem exists with fire services .. a 'fire station', a 'fire 
control centre' .. and just recently came across a 'fire training 
centre'. I think they are all tagged 'fire_station'.

Possibly some sub tags could be had of 
fire_station=control_centre/training_centre/emergency_service ???


I think =lifeboat_station is the better value and 'emergency' the better 
key.

If they have no boat nor anyway other than swimming then they are not a 
lifeboat station .. at best a life guard station for which tags already 
exist.
