The verdict

Fire Department runs at 476% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Fire and rescue service workplace, earning a grade F.

Fire Department: 15.2 TCR = 476% of Fire and rescue service BLS 3.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Fire Department safety composite

Fire Department scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 9%), 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).

Grade F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Connecticut alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #82 safest of 113 Fire and rescue service employers in Connecticut.

Fire Department (100 employees, TCR 15.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 54 employees and a TCR of 9.8

Fire Department has more employees than the Fire and rescue service 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.
