Talk:Rural Metro

Major work needs to be done on this advertisement
Because that's what it is at present - little more than an advertisement. Two major problems:
 * "Through the years, Rural/Metro has stayed on the leading edge of EMS technologies, offering Advanced life support ambulances to communities in its public/private service model." The term "leading edge" is subjective at best, adspeak at worst. The claim can't be verified without getting into a really long argument over what constitutes "leading edge".
 * The 'Police Services' section is nothing more than slanted POV. Besides, according to their website it doesn't appear they even provide police services anymore. As the Oro Valley event is already mentioned in the Wiki article on privatization in criminal justice (which itself needs work), there doesn't appear to be a point to having this info here - especially written with a blatant bias.

Removed both. Sidatio (talk) 14:43, 19 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I have done some cleanup, the page is still heavily reliant on company sources and slips into NPOV language occasionally. It has little in the way of objective coverage and is still mostly information that seems to come directly from the company homepage.  A systematic review of third party source coverage is certainly in order.  --TeaDrinker (talk) 14:33, 11 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Again, the article read like a company PR piece. I cleaned it up somewhat. There was mention of it being "nationally recognized as a leader" based on a citation that, if I read it correctly, referred to an award for water arches created by water cannons on airport CFR trucks. This was deleted. Blotto adrift (talk) 14:53, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Assessment comment
Substituted at 05:04, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

The comments in talk regarding this wiki page are for Rural Metro Corp, not Rural metro Fire. How can we change the title of the page, so that it says Rural Metro Fire? The EMS portion of Rural Metro Corp was absorbed by American Medical Response in 2015 in an acquisition. Both American Medical Response AND Rural Metro FIRE are now part of the large company Global Medical Response. There is NO MORE Rural Metro Corp. Please, can the "written like an advertisement" be removed, since it does NOT apply to Rural Metro Fire? Micrenshaw (talk) 03:03, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
