<p>Hi Y'all. (So lived in Texas in a past life..)<br>
</p>
<p>Possibly also worth noting</p>
<p>- Many a rural/remote site has an ill defined block boundary.
Some are tucked in corners of rec reserves and some are even on
private land. (which affects road access tags)</p>
<p>- Naming (on signs etc) may be problematic. Service vs Brigade vs
Station for example. ie is it a concern that using the name from
an allowed database contras what locals use. To add confusion I
have seen a crop of fairly new buildings with "official" signage,
but the existing (still in use) sheds (now with a 2nd appliance)
retain the old. <br>
</p>
<p>Cheers, Bob<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Well
I am not too sure that the correct tagging of buildings is
applied at all in Australia as I can only see about 200 uses
of building:use=* in all of Oz! Seems most folks use the
building tag to denote current use rather than initial
construction intention. I am sure there are more than 200
building adaptations across the country.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I
could think of several building in my state that have had
second or third lives from the original intention and none
have building:use tagging and there must be 10,000’s across
the country. I also understand that the fire station tagging
will likely be much harder in cities than in rural areas
where most will be a shed on a block somewhere. Also the
more recent trend of combining fire, ambulance and maybe SES
is also something that sort of hinders a ‘generic’ standard
approach but nodes really help for each of these functions
across a single site with combined building use.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
