I agree that fire hydrants and fire extinguishers should be tagged
differently. While both are used for putting out fires, fire
extinguishers (a) are limited to use on smaller fires, and (b) are
useful by themselves, whereas you need a suitable hose in order to use
a fire hydrant )and so are of use to firefighters, but not the general
public).
i'm uncertain about the case for fire extinguishers -- they're small and
portable.
please provide scenarios where tagging extinguishers is meaningful.
They usually have a dedicated place where they have to be, very often
mounted on a wall and might even be specially marked so people can find
them better. Industrial plants often have these outside of buildings.
Of course, not all of them are worth being mapped, e.g. we're hopefully
not talking about fire extinguishers mounted on a truck ;-)
