New Northern California fires, including the Glass Fire in Napa-Sonoma wine country and the Zogg Fire in Shasta County are forcing more than 50,000 thousand residents to flee their homes. In Napa County alone, more than 5,000 people are facing mandatory evacuation orders.

Many wineries in the region have been evacuated. Some are already destroyed or damaged by fire. Security guards, trained in protecting property in fire zones, are now on scene.

Fire Watch Guards Protect Businesses. When businesses are evacuated due to fire, thieves see an opportunity. Expensive items in wineries and retail stores can bring top dollar online. To prevent criminals from entering private property, security companies, specializing in fire watch protection, deploy guards around businesses, looking for trespassers and looters. They detain those who are breaking the law until police arrive.

Fire Watch Guards Protect Homes. Just as with shuttered businesses, evacuated homes are prime targets for criminals. Row after row of unoccupied homes, many without power, give robbers the advantage. Fire watch security guards patrol deserted streets and detain suspects.

With fire season almost year round in California, enlisting the help of fire watch security guards by homeowners, homeowners associations and businesses is becoming more common.
