    Do we also use this tag to tag the "In case of fire, break glass"
    alarms eg https://goo.gl/images/4qVSgc, that are found throughout
    public access buildings eg hospitals, high rise offices, hotels,
    universities etc?


IMO to add those to OSM would be overkill: people frequenting the buildings will know where the alarms are, and those most often get triggered also automatically anyway.

I think it's more worthwhile focusing on the alarms that are in the street, actionable by passer-by, or the volunteers of various disaster response teams. The use case is of a member of such disaster response team doing the first inspections on the ground after a major event (say, earthquake) and noticing fire. Their printed map should have the closest alarm marked.


Usually these things are signed on the ground so that you don't need a map to find them...
