Rural/Metro Corporation

As the nation's leading private sector fire protection provider, Rural/Metro is in the forefront of demonstrating how the public and private sectors can come together to provide top notch services for less cost through correctly administered emergency services.

Rural/Metro currently provides fire protection services to more than 25 communities, and responds to more than 60,000 calls annually. Studies have shown that Rural/Metro's fire protection provides residents with a higher degree of safety, while featuring comparatively lower costs. Rural/Metro's emphasis on fire prevention has resulted in an incidence of structure fires that is more than 300% lower than the national average.

In addition to community fire protection, Rural/Metro provides wildland, industrial and aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) services.
