That's what you get when you misquote someone. Not sure if you did it deliberately, but the second half of my sentence focused my point on stuff that can't be seen from the street. Maybe you're right about things that serve particular purposes in emergencies, but I think mapping private swimming pools is pretty borderline. Yeah, perhaps there's an argument for a "there is a source of water for firefighting here" tag, but you don't need to map its precise location and shape for that. That feels like a privacy violation.
