That's a good point, but only if the surrounding areas are well mapped
in OSM. In my district of focus, I still encounter TIGER tangles as
soon as I cross the county border. I try to go a bit further knowing
that they answer partner district calls, and it's hard to stop when
there's so much
a major selling point can focus on out of district response; often
FDs know their own area well, but when they go to support other
companies they often don't know a whole lot about the place they're
responding to.

- Most trees are deciduous, making the off-leaf imagery good for
locating hidden driveways.
- The region is

involved for making it happen and to you for writing the diary entry. I

because in some areas it contains data that no one else has, but
Not an emergency, but still interesting when someone can use OSM data:
