[talk-au] NSW Fire Station names

[Andrew Harvey]

Echoing what cleary said about reliance on the DCS Base Map, it's not our
goal to recreate their label format.

In my opinion it's more important to have branch and ref tagged as it gives
more flexibility to data consumers on how they choose to label it, eg. they
could choose,

{branch} FS
{branch} Fire Station
{branch} Fire Station, {ref}
{operator} Station {ref}, {branch}

etc.

For the name I'd first go with any signage on the ground, but otherwise I
think "Lane Cove Fire Station" works well.

For fire stations that have grounds then yes you'd have
amenity=fire_station on the grounds with a seperate building=* way inside.
But for these city fire stations that don't have grounds and take up the
whole building, the amenity=fire_station -should go on the building way.
