For anyone interested, there’s another part of the Starlink besides the satellites and your dish - ground stations (gateways) [].
These are the large clusters of antennas that communicate with the satellites and connect the Starlink network to the Internet on Earth. Looks like one of these was set on fire.

  Are they required to have precise locations listed?

    these seem to be just operator hq locations, not necessarily the station street addresses. but yeah, the locations would be public information.
