Rural/Metro Fire Department is a private company providing high-quality, cost-effective fire service. Rather than paying taxes for fire services, you pay Rural/Metro an annual fee based on the total square footage of your home.

Rural/Metro Fire Department's dedication to providing a professional and highly trained/educated firefighting force has proven to be a life saving accomplishment. Deaths due to fire in Rural Metro Fire protection areas were almost 50 percent lower than average for the South Region of the U.S.
