The verdict

Fire Rescue runs at 363% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Fire Protection workplace, earning a grade F.

Fire Rescue: 11.6 TCR = 363% of Fire Protection BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Fire Rescue safety composite

Fire Rescue scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 63% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 39%), 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 Virginia alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #23 safest of 29 Fire Protection employers in Virginia.

Fire Rescue (132 employees, TCR 11.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 54 employees and a TCR of 9.8

Fire Rescue has more employees than the Fire Protection 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.
