Murfreesboro, Rutherford County and surrounding area
Murfreesboro and Rutherford County have experienced explosive growth over the past decade, driven by proximity to Nashville, major university presence (Middle Tennessee State University), and a substantial industrial base that includes the Nissan North America plant and a significant concentration of automotive supply chain manufacturers and distribution operations.
The Murfreesboro market includes a particularly active warehouse and distribution sector — Amazon, FedEx, and major third-party logistics operators have facilities in Rutherford County, and the scale of distribution/warehouse construction (Extra Hazard occupancy classification under NFPA 13 for high-piled storage) demands fire protection contractors with specific expertise in the NFPA 13 storage protection standards.
Warehouse and distribution facilities in Rutherford County frequently require in-rack sprinkler design consultation in addition to ceiling sprinkler systems, particularly where high-piled storage exceeds NFPA 13 ceiling-only protection thresholds. KJ Fire Protection has experience with storage protection design coordination.
Fire sprinkler system construction in Murfreesboro and Rutherford County requires plan review approval from City of Murfreesboro Building & Codes Department and Rutherford County Planning and Zoning before installation begins.

Tennessee State Fire Marshal contractor license documentation under T.C.A. § 62-32 must accompany all submittals.
KJ Fire Protection prepares complete, professionally formatted submittal packages and has established working relationships with AHJ staff across our service area. We know what each jurisdiction's plan review team expects to see — and our submittals are prepared accordingly, protecting your project timeline from avoidable review delays.
