This also occurs here in Spain with some forest fire services finding more valuable and precise data about forest tracks and it current state in OSM than in any other place. I personally know of some people working in emergency related services that are interested in using OSM and became mappers for this reason. I agree that this feature could be better described under the office tag, but office=control_centre is too vague and generic. It should be better office=emergency_control_centre. May be this way will be sufficient for a search if it is improved a bit (search emergency=* and *=*emergency*, instead of search emergency=* only) and the additional secondary tag emergency=yes would we duplicated and unnecessary.
