Most ambulance stations here usually aren't joined to a hospital,
patient transport is another matter but they usually aren't used for
emergencies. Some stations aren't even close to a hospital, like this
one near me, it's about 6km from the nearest hospital:
station: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/61848194
hospital: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/41130362
Well, that's another reason to tag them separately, right? So we can
have amenity=hospital and emergency=ambulance_station
I just don't see an ambulance/fire station as an emergency. I mean, if
you fall down and injure yourself you don't try & get to the station you
'phone up & get an ambulance to come to you.
I see them as amenities & will continue to tag them as such. It's seems
wrong to have fire as amenity & ambulance as emergency.
The word emergency is also an adjective & which is subjective & as such
should be avoided in the use of tags. Just look at historic to see what
a mess adjectives bring.
