The verdict

Fire Station 10 runs at 334% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Ambulance and fire service combined workplace, earning a grade F.

Fire Station 10: 10.7 TCR = 334% of Ambulance and fire service combined BLS 3.2 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Fire Station 10 safety composite

Fire Station 10 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 7%), 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).
