GLENDALE, Calif. — A herd of unlikely heroes will be helping Glendale clear the dried-up hillsides this summer.
"The residents of Glendale actually suggested the idea to the Glendale Fire Department three years ago," said Patty Mundo of the Glendale Fire Department. "We are creating a buffer. So, if we were to have a fire here it will slow it or hopefully stop it." "Goats are natural mountaineers. They can climb up steep hills with no problem, they get all into the nooks and crannies that would normally be very difficult for people, and they eat almost everything," said Michael Choi of Fire Grazers.
