Yes, this is
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#One_feature.2C_one_OSM_element,
there should only be one amenity=fire_station for a single fire station.

Where possible I prefer to trace the site boundary as this can be useful
information and put all the tags on that, and then just have a way inside
it with building=yes an none of the fire station tags.

But I think it's also fine to just have a node, or to just have the
building without the site as interim solutions or for fire stations where
the extent is just the building which don't have a yard.
