Just because something “can be found just about anywhere” isn’t really a valid 
argument for not mapping it.

 

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.

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
