Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF)
Fire protection and suppression services are a core business for Rural/Metro. It’s a service we’ve been providing for more than 55 years. With Rural/Metro, airports are assured of experienced, highly-trained crews, and efficient, well-managed operations. Rural/Metro currently provides service for the Memphis FEDEX hub, one of the busiest freight airports in the country, with more than 450 flights in and out of Memphis every day.

Rural/Metro considers the specific needs of each airport to customize a program appropriate for each unique location. It’s our way of providing the best protection possible. For example, Rural/Metro provides search and rescue operations in addition to fire protection at the Sikorsky Flight Testing Center in West Palm Beach Florida.

Rural/Metro Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) personnel also can provide a variety of support enhancements, from airport driver-training programs to OSHA-compliant tenant training. These benefits are in addition to the customary response operations of emergency medical services, hazardous materials, and structural firefighting. Airport operations that utilize Rural/Metro services receive around-the-clock protection in any emergency situation.

Industrial Fire Protection
Rural/Metro is nationally recognized as a leader in industrial fire services. We want to bring our superior fire protection to your company. The industrial fire approach focuses on each customer’s specific safety and environmental needs, with particular attention to prevention and suppression techniques prescribed by industry type. Rural/Metro provides firefighting services to Citgo, one of the largest petroleum plants in the United States. Rural/Metro crews undergo vigorous real-life training so when an emergency strikes they’re ready to jump into action.

Security Services
In this day, many industrial sites have become "targets for terror." Now, private industries and large public facilities have an obligation to ensure unauthorized entry is controlled and facilities are secure. When that happens, losses due to theft, vandalism, or other criminal activity are reduced. Our objective is to provide services to keep your employees safe in an effective, efficient, and economical manner.

You take every precaution to keep your employees safe on the job. However, when you need help, Rural/Metro emergency medical crews can offer the best pre-hospital emergency care this business has to offer. Rural/Metro has been a leader in medical transportation services for more than 55 years. Our trained professionals will provide that same first-class service to your employees. By offering this service on site, your employees get the emergency medical attention they need immediately.
