The verdict

Fire: 4.2 TCR = 132% of Fire departments (e.g., government, volunteer (except private)) BLS 3.2 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Fire safety composite

Fire scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 82% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 16%), 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).
