> Also, water_rescue_station is probably identical to lifeguard_base
Agree based on the description given at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:emergency%3Dwater_rescue_station it sounds like lifeguard_base. Just based on the tag name I thought it meant something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast_guard. The wikipedia page seems to indicate coast_guard is a common term internationally (even though many of the agencies worldwide aren't known as the "Coast Guard", it seems like it's common enough for emergency=coast_guard. I wonder if any of the current water_rescue_station's are really coast guards?
