I have no idea what a THW Station is .. so

The places (stations etc) where the emergency response come from would 
not be an 'office'; "An office is a place of business where 
administrative or professional work is carried out. "  e.g. lawyers, 
accountants, records,

Those I know ... the stations send out people and equipment to respond 
to storms, floods ... and some times other things. An administration 
site for them would not be sending people out into the field .. they 
handle purchases of equipment, insurance, training schedules .. basic 
paperwork. I think I have mapped such a site but am yet to confirm what 
I think it is, an administration site only not a response site.
