FireStation

FireStation dual-inherits from CivicStructure and EmergencyService. It has no unique properties, but the EmergencyService side matters: the station is both a building (CivicStructure) and a 24/7 organisation (EmergencyService).

Key patterns:

  • openingHoursSpecification: 24/7 emergency coverage (00:00-23:59 seven days). Administrative / non-emergency counter hours go on a separate openingHoursSpecification entry with a name qualifier.
  • telephone: the non-emergency line; emergency number goes in description, never overriding the local emergency system.
  • parentOrganization: the fire department's umbrella GovernmentOrganization.
  • areaServed: the response territory.
  • subOrganization or structured description: the engine / ladder / rescue companies stationed there.

Common FireStation mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    Overriding 911 with the station's non-emergency line

    Wrong
    Structured data suggesting the non-emergency number is for emergencies
    Right
    telephone = non-emergency line; description explicitly tells the reader to dial the local emergency number

    Getting this wrong costs lives. Keep the emergency number in prose and never in a structured slot that might be displayed as 'call for help'.

  2. 02

    Missing 24/7 hours

    Wrong
    Openinghours reflecting counter hours only
    Right
    One 24/7 hours block plus a separate counter block, each with a name qualifier

    Consumers assume a fire station is open; empty hours or counter hours confuse local-search surfaces.
