The verdict

Fire runs at 443% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Ambulance and fire service combined workplace, earning a grade F.

Fire: 14.2 TCR = 443% of Ambulance and fire service combined BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Fire safety composite

Fire scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 6%), 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).

Fire (194 employees, TCR 14.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 54 employees and a TCR of 9.8

Fire has more employees than the Ambulance and fire service combined median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 9.8. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
