Where I live it is common to talk about the emergency services. We even see it on road signs - things like "no turning except emergency vehicles". That means fire, police, ambulance, SES (State Emergency Services), etc. Usually each service has it's own locations, but not far from me there's an area which has ambulances, fire engines and a helicopter based - and it's called the "something emergency centre" (can't remember who they called it after). Tagging places where emergency services are based with an emergency tag is not strange. > I see them as amenities & will continue to tag them as such.

I agree- fire stations should be in the emergency tag as well :) Stephen _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
