Mapping of (Ice) Rescue Ladder?

Is there a way to map a rescue ladder?

I think, this is best described with the image attached. I already mapped the Emergency Life Ring (Node: 12715082491 | OpenStreetMap). But I am not sure on how to tag the ladder. This is not a Rescue Ladder? My understanding of this device is that it is intended to be helpful when trying to save people from a frozen lake.

How about:

emergency=rescue_ladder 
ladder:type=ice_rescue

?

Thank you for the feedback.

I was wondering whether

emergency=rescue_ladder

could be misleading, as the examples I see typically refer to fire rescue.
But you are probably right. Together with ladder type it probably makes sense.

Would you create a separate node or combine it with the emergency life ring?

And even if it were a fire ladder, it would make no difference to its use. In fact, both would be equally suitable. If the fire brigade were called out on a rescue mission, they would not have a second rescue ladder with them for ice rescue, but would use their normal fire ladder.

The life_ring with line also appears to be for ice rescue. And what about the pick off pole?

How about a more generic one:
emergency=ice_rescue_equipment

or:
emergency=rescue_equipment
rescue=ice_rescue
equipment=ladder;life_ring;rope;pickoff_pole

(sorry, if a translation is not quite correct)

Thank you.

I updated it accordingly.

Only disadvantage of this approach:
The life_ring does not show up as dedicated icon anymore. Which makes me wonder, whether I should separate it again.

Hey @Map_HeRo , @Mammi71 ,

adding some more complexity: It seems that ladder and pickoff_pole are removed in spring. So, these would only be focused on ice_rescue, but only available in winter.

In a first step, I decided to separate the ring:

Is there an option to highlight that this equipment is only available in winter? Or should
rescue=ice_rescue
be clear enough in this context?

seasonal
tag it with seasonal=winter

Okay. That was easy.
Thank you!

I think, this is resolved now.

hat jemand Lust, die Ergebnisse beider Dikussionen (hier und im deutschen Forum) im Wiki zu dokumentieren?

Klingt spannend.
Wie sähe das aus?
