In Colorado Springs, a four-year-old Nigerian dwarf goat named Goldie accompanied firefighters for several hours while they battled the Rock Creek wildfire [1]. During the operation on Friday evening, the animal actively ate leaves and helped clear brush from its surroundings [1]. Goldie also attempted to interact with Forest Service personnel who were resting nearby, bringing a lighter atmosphere to the tense firefighting efforts [1]. By late Friday night, 50 percent of the fire had been contained, with full containment expected by the end of that day [1]. Colorado Springs Fire Department Lt. Trevor Leland stated regarding the goat's presence: "I don't know if she really helped put out the fire, but seeing an animal like this not mind us being there is always cool" [1].
