The verdict

Fire Rescue runs at 235% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Ambulance and fire service combined workplace, earning a grade F.

Fire Rescue: 7.5 TCR = 235% of Ambulance and fire service combined BLS 3.2 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Fire Rescue safety composite

Fire Rescue scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 64% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 42%), 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 Rescue has more employees than the Ambulance and fire service combined median and a lower 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.
