Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 3, 2011, Rural/Metro Corporation’s administrative office in Louisville, Kentucky was searched by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with the assistance of the Kentucky Attorney General’s office, the Office of Inspector General, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The affidavit and search warrant are under seal, and the Company is presently unaware of the basis for the search.

The Company hereby confirms an analyst report to the effect that the Company’s Louisville, Kentucky operations generated approximately $4.0 million in annual revenue during the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, all of which was attributable to non-emergency medical transports.

The Company has been cooperating fully with the investigation of this matter. The Company is unable at this time to predict the timing, outcome or scope of this investigation, or any potential impact on the Company or its business operations.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities thereof, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except to the extent specifically provided in any such filing.
