The verdict

Station 65 runs at 235% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Fire Protection workplace, earning a grade F.

Station 65: 7.5 TCR = 235% of Fire Protection BLS 3.2 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Station 65 safety composite

Station 65 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 64% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 35%), 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).
