Community Fire Protection

A Tradition of Private Fire Protection

In the South Zone, Rural/Metro provides fire protection services under a subscription-based model to individual homeowners and commercial property owners in unincorporated areas of Knox County, Tennessee. These areas are not included within municipal fire department boundaries, and Rural/Metro fills that niche. In fact, it is the business model that our company was founded upon.

As the nation's leading private-sector fire protection provider, Rural/Metro tailors our services to fit our customer's needs, including:

• Fire Prevention
• Fire Suppression
• Emergency Medical Services
• Fire Inspection Services
• Community Health & Safety Programs

In partnership with community leaders and property owners, we develop resourceful community fire protection solutions that deliver quality, efficiency, service, safety and value.
