The verdict

Volunteer Fire runs at 284% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Ambulance and fire service combined workplace, earning a grade F.

Volunteer Fire: 9.1 TCR = 284% of Ambulance and fire service combined BLS 3.2 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Volunteer Fire safety composite

Volunteer Fire scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 85% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), 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).

Volunteer Fire (94 employees, TCR 9.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 54 employees and a TCR of 9.8

Volunteer Fire 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.
