The verdict

FD/EMS: 17.0 TCR = 531% of Fire departments (e.g., government, volunteer (except private)) BLS 3.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

FD/EMS safety composite

FD/EMS scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 85% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 18%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
