Wildfire Security Services for Evacuated BC Property
Wildfire Security in BC: Protecting Properties During Evacuation Orders
Every summer, wildfires force thousands of BC residents and businesses to evacuate with little warning. What happens to your property while you're gone? Without security, evacuated properties become prime targets for looting, vandalism, and unauthorized access.
The Growing Wildfire Threat in BC
British Columbia consistently experiences some of Canada's most severe wildfire seasons. Communities in the Okanagan, Thompson-Nicola, Cariboo, and Northern BC regions face annual wildfire risk that can displace thousands of residents at a time.
The 2023 wildfire season saw evacuations in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Kamloops, and dozens of smaller communities across BC.
What Happens to Evacuated Properties?
During evacuation orders, properties face:
- Looting — abandoned homes and businesses are targets
- Unauthorized entry — thrill seekers, journalists, and scavengers
- Secondary fire damage — from embers or spreading flames not caught early
- Structural hazards — gas leaks, flooding from fire suppression efforts
