The verdict

Fire Department runs at 150% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Ambulance and fire service combined workplace, earning a grade D.

Fire Department: 4.8 TCR = 150% of Ambulance and fire service combined BLS 3.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Fire Department safety composite

Fire Department scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), 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).
