Wildfire & Emergency Security in Santa Barbara
When a fire, flood, or evacuation order empties a neighborhood, homes and businesses are left exposed. Taurus Protection puts trained officers on site to watch over your property until you can get back.
Call (805) 871-9599Request Standby CoverageEvacuated Property Is Vulnerable Property
Wildfire, debris flows, and storms are part of life on the South Coast. During an evacuation, owners often cannot get back for days, roads close, and neighborhoods go quiet. Our officers keep watch over empty homes, estates, and businesses, report what they see, and support the people who live and work there, while fire and emergency crews do their job.

Wildfire Security FAQ
Can you protect my home while I am evacuated?
Yes. We provide officers on site or on patrol at evacuated homes, estates, and businesses, and we document what we see so you know what is happening while you are away.
Can you set up coverage before an evacuation order?
Yes. Planning ahead is the best option. Call us during fire season and we will set up a plan for your property so coverage can start quickly if it is needed.
Do your officers fight fires?
No. Firefighting is the job of fire crews. Our officers protect property, control access, keep watch, and report, and they stay out of the way of emergency responders.
Which areas do you cover?
Montecito, Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria, and the rest of Santa Barbara County, plus Ventura County and parts of Los Angeles County.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Taurus Protection holds California Private Patrol Operator license PPO 120624. Verify our license.
