Just because something “can be found just about anywhere” isn’t really
a valid argument for not mapping it.
Roads can be found just about anywhere. We map those.
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.
Those concerned can go ahead amp map the things that concern them.
Does not mean they will be rendered on most maps.
Like fire hydrants and fire extinguishers .. they can be mapped.
For me a 'fire alarm box' is where you go to find out where the fire
alarm originated from, or to isolate some section or to perform
testing/maintenance.
The fire alarm manual trigger points are some thing else... don't know
what to call e=them off the top of may head, but not a 'box'.

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
Graeme
