Ben Affleck Enjoys Quieter Times After Wildfire Security Issues

Ben Affleck Finally Finds Time to Relax After Recent Turmoil

Ben Affleck was recently spotted taking a well-deserved break away from his Brentwood home. The actor was enjoying a peaceful walk in his neighborhood accompanied by his son and a new dog. This came after a turbulent start to the year, filled with challenges due to nearby wildfire scares and security concerns.

In light of the recent events, it seems that Ben has increased his personal security with a canine companion. He took this new four-legged friend out for a leisurely stroll on a Friday, alongside his child and a team from Trident Elite Protection Dogs.

A Dramatic Start to the Year

This outing is a stark contrast to earlier events when Ben had to evacuate his mansion due to the threat of wildfires. The early part of the year was marked by significant security issues right at his doorstep, especially following the destructive Palisades fire.

Shortly after being forced to leave for safety, Ben's home was visited by FBI agents who were investigating an incident involving a private drone colliding with a firefighting aircraft. Fortunately, reports indicated that Ben was not the focus of this investigation.

Ongoing Security Concerns

Earlier in the week, Affleck was seen engaged in a tense dialogue with local police outside his property, expressing frustration over the constant questioning from his private security team. It is worth noting that his annoyance seemed to be directed more towards the security staff rather than the police officers.

As if things weren't already complicated, on Thursday, a large military Humvee was spotted parked outside his home, manned by a uniformed member of the National Guard. The National Guard had been deployed to assist with the fire situation due to the alarming events in the Pacific Palisades area.

Looking Ahead

Given that Ben's home is situated near the edge of the evacuation zone, authorities have been vigilant and monitoring the area closely. This has led to a series of security measures being enforced. Perhaps as a tongue-in-cheek gesture, one might wonder if Ben might name his new dog "Deep Breath" as a nod to these challenging times.
