Crews were fighting the Rock Creek Fire in Colorado this week when a surprise guest decided to keep them company. A goat named Goldie — short for Golden Oreo — followed firefighters for hours as they actively engaged the fire and cleared brush. She even took care of some of it on her own by chomping on leaves. “I don’t know that she necessarily helped with the firefighting effort, but it’s always cool to see an animal like that who doesn’t mind us being there,” said Colorado Springs Fire Department Lt. Trevor Leland.
