i'd like to add a value to the emergency equipment tagging scheme:
emergency=standpipe_inlet
for those unaware of it, a standpipe system is generally built into
modern high rise
buildings. it is a way of feeding water into the building for fire
emergencies, and is usually
kept dry. should an engine company need to respond to an emergency in
one of these
buildings, they would use a hose segment to connect a nearby hydrant to
the standpipe
inlet, feeding water to the buildings internal systems. this is
considered much preferable
to attempting to string hose through a stairwell.
you can argue for placement under building= as it is analogous to tags
like entrance,
but i think emergency= is slightly better. feel free to try to convince
me otherwise, though.
