I wonder what the purpose in reporting the exact address would be?
I doubt it is ever the practice of any of the emergency agencies to be publicly reporting each address where an emergency attendance takes place, for obvious reasons.

2nd attempt.. From the ESA site it has the pin on 1 moore street!
Is there any reason ESA would not give the exact building address for an incident like this? It strikes me as a little odd that they’re making a public announcement, but withholding the full location.
It seems to be the ESA’s usual approach, so there is probably a good reason. I’m just not sure what it is.
