HIFLD Fire Stations in Mississippi

Purpose

To utilize HIFLD Fire Stations dataset to import missing Fire Stations in Mississippi.

Method

After carefully determining how to handle importing and adding this data on a County-by-County basis, I've developed a systematic work flow once data is ready to bring into JOSM:

Open GeoJSON file in JOSM and ensure all relevant tags are added and correct.
Download (to a new layer) existing nodes, ways, and relations pertaining to `fire_station` values from Overpass API.
Select all nodes in `HIFLD Fire Stations` layer and freeze them as the reference layer in Conflation.
Select all objects in Data Layer 1 (this is any data that already exists in OSM) and freeze them as the subject layer in Conflation.
Increase matching distance to `Centroid` < `150.0`. Ensure `Replace Geometry` and `Merge Tags` `All` boxes are checked then click `Generate Matches`.
