No worries.
For what it’s worth, I fully agree with you. Any emergency=lifeguard[_*] that’s not anywhere close to water is pretty much guaranteed to be a tagging error. While on the topic of lifeguards, lifeguard=place on a node doesn’t really fit to beaches where there a lifeguard place is usually, but it can be anywhere in a larger section of the beach on a day by day basis, depending on the weather and sea conditions at that moment. Do we have any tagging scheme for “an area in which it is likely for a lifeguard to be”? I’m not sure if simply tagging an area with emergency=lifeguard lifeguard=place is appropriate for that.

I would consider lifeguard=place to be still acceptable for these if there is some defined time when a lifeguard is present. Maybe specified with a seasonal tag or opening_hours (e.g. only on weekends or something like that). If it is not near water .. then how does it match the general perception of 'lifeguard'? Definition of lifeguard - an expert swimmer employed to rescue bathers who get into difficulty at a beach or swimming pool. Where did I ever say something else? Apologies .. me reading things that are not there??
