A man made or natural pond with water for a fire department. It is allowing to quickly get access to water for extinguishing a fire.

It can be either specifically designed or selected (in case of a natural one) to allow good water access for firefighters. To tag the specific point where the fire department can pump water, use emergency=suction_point.

How to map

Use emergency=fire_water_pond in conjunction with a tag for the physical object it describes, typically natural=water + water=pond.
