Fire Station #5: 9.1 TCR = 285% of Ambulance and fire service combined BLS 3.2 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Fire Station #5 safety composite

Fire Station #5 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 54% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 33%), 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).
