I noticed there are also 24 uses of emergency=fire_callbox, which I assume is something similar. And, surprising, just 1 uses of a more generic fire_alarm.

I’m not sure if there really is an important enough distinction between a fire alarm box and a fire alarm as you find them inside buildings and it might be worthwhile to just merge all 3 tags into a single emergency=fire_alarm. If necessary a subtag fire_alarm=* could be added.

On a remotely related note, while looking through taginfo, I was surprised that emergency=stop_button has only 2 uses and there don’t seem to be any other values to tag something of that nature.

On Wikipedia it’s documented at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_switch

A tag for this would certainly be useful e.g. for petrol stations to mark the location of the emergency stop button for the pumps…


Stop buttons are also used in workshops - to stop rotating machinery without getting near it, can save a life.

I was looking at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:emergency today.

Someone just made this page for emergency=fire_alarm_box a few weeks ago

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:emergency%3Dfire_alarm_box <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:emergency=fire_alarm_box>

It seems like a good idea.  Should it be a thing?

Thanks , Bryan
