A 4-year-old Nigerian dwarf goat named Goldie accompanied firefighters in Colorado as they tackled the Rock Creek Fire, offering companionship and levity. Goldie followed crews for hours, ate brush, and interacted with a U.S. Forest Service worker, providing emotional support during wildfire efforts. Her owner, Lindsey Glader, praised her role in boosting morale for overworked firefighters.
