Wildfire & Emergency Standby

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.

Why It Matters

Evacuated 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.

Questions

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.

Montecito, Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria, and the rest of Santa Barbara County, plus Ventura County and parts of Los Angeles County.
