[talk-au] Fire Station Operators

[Sebastian Spiess]

I've done a few. Two raised questions.

Narrabri - There are two fire ' services'  according to LPI map. How to 
tag them?
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/79336523

and RAYMOND TERRACE Fire Station - This seems to be and old fire station 
as according to https://www.fire.nsw.gov.au/news.php?news=608
a new one was built. I can't tell if the old one was closed down.
