Looking at some of the "inland" examples shown on OT, I wonder if they should actually be tagged as a "lifeboat-station" at all, or whether they would be better shown as a lifeguard base?
Examples, with some websites included: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/299123258 + https://www.wasserwacht-woerthsee.de/ https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9151311469 + https://www.slrgo.ch/ https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9957154743 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/965027465 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/66850852 Some fire stations, that possibly also carry out on-water rescues? Should they also be tagged as "water" rescue, or just as a fire station? https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/629239460 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/931856197 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/87339014 In regard of use of boats for rescue purposes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflatable_rescue_boat & https://sls.com.au/role/jet-rescue-boat-crew/ both relate to rescue boats that are primarily used by lifeguards for rescuing swimmers in distress. The fact that they have a boat, does not make them a marine-rescue unit, as they are intended for work close to the beach only, not in blue water.
