The verdict

Fire Department runs at 292% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Fire Department workplace, earning a grade F.

Fire Department: 9.3 TCR = 292% of Fire Department BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Fire Department safety composite

Fire Department scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).
