Wildfire Security & Emergency Response

Protecting Communities. Supporting First Responders.

Every wildfire season, thousands of properties across British Columbia and Alberta are left unoccupied as evacuations force residents and businesses to flee. In those critical hours and days, those properties are vulnerable — to opportunistic looting, unauthorized entry, structural risks, and secondary fire spread.

Hundal Protection Services specializes in wildfire security and emergency response, deploying licensed security guards rapidly into fire-affected zones to protect what you've left behind.

The Security Crisis During Wildfire Evacuations

When evacuation orders are issued, law enforcement is stretched to its limits managing evacuee safety, traffic control, and emergency coordination. The result: properties in evacuation zones often go unmonitored for days or weeks.

The consequences:

  • Looting — opportunistic theft targeting evacuated homes and businesses
  • Unauthorized entry — trespassers, media, and curious individuals accessing dangerous zones
  • Secondary fire spread — unmonitored spot fires reaching unprotected structures
  • Insurance complications — undocumented damage creates claim disputes
  • Delayed recovery — unsecured properties face additional damage during the evacuation period

Hundal Protection fills the gap — deploying licensed security guards into and around evacuation zones to protect properties and support emergency operations.

Our Wildfire Security Services

Evacuation Zone Property Protection

Our guards patrol evacuation zones, monitoring properties for unauthorized entry, fire encroachment, and secondary damage. We document property conditions and report directly to property owners.

Anti-Looting Patrol

Visible, uniformed security presence in and around evacuation areas — deterring opportunistic theft targeting homes and businesses left unoccupied during emergencies.

Access Control at Evacuation Perimeters

Supporting local authorities with checkpoint management — verifying credentials and controlling access at evacuation zone entry points.

Fire Watch & Structure Monitoring

Guards stationed at high-value or high-risk structures to monitor for fire encroachment, coordinate with firefighters, and document structural conditions.

Emergency Rapid Deployment

When evacuation orders are issued, time is critical. Hundal Protection can mobilize security teams within hours to affected areas across BC and Alberta.

Post-Evacuation Property Assessment

After evacuation orders are lifted, our guards can conduct property condition assessments — documenting damage for insurance and recovery purposes.

Our Wildfire Response Experience

Hundal Protection has deployed security teams during major BC wildfire events including the 2023 Kelowna and West Kelowna fires, the Shuswap wildfires, and multiple Okanagan and Interior wildfire seasons. Our guards understand the unique operational environment of wildfire response — working safely alongside firefighters, emergency management officials, and RCMP.
