The Sheriff’s Office responded at around 3:24 p.m. to a house on the 5300 block of University Drive for a welfare check, according to Sheriff’s Office public information officer Raquel Zick.

Law enforcement set up a command post near Fire Station 12. Emergency crews with the Santa Barbara County Fire Department later responded at around 6:22 p.m.
