What I was talking about were
building=fire_station
.. of which there were 944 in the OSM data base WORLD WIDE.
There are now some ~1,200 world wide.
See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Abuilding%3Dfire_station
Note I created this wiki page to encourage others to tag the building
detail.
Note: Some places have both a 'Fire and Rescue' and 'Rural Fire'
stations, these may be in separate locations but within the same town.

I was confused by this as well. At the moment there are 734 "fire
stations" in OSM (NSW):

But these include a number of control centres and training facilities
so it a bit over the actual number correctly mapped.
According to the latest annual report of FRNSW there are 335 metro
fire stations in NSW, and NSW RFS says there are 2002 rural brigades.
Given that a rural brigade does not necessarily have a physical
presence on the ground or they might have more than one home, we can't
really say how many RFB stations there are.
The Base Map has 1688 rural fire stations and 338 metro, which is just
over 2000 (but these include control centres and training facilites as
well). By my calcs that's about 1200 missing fire stations, and that's
before we start worrying about the 300 RFB that may or may not be on
the LPI map.
