The latest weapons in the war against wildfire? Goats.

Senum is the vice mayor of Nevada City. Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, 147 miles northeast of San Francisco, the town's streets are lined with characterful wooden houses that date back to the late 19th century.Nevada City's historic downtown.Senum is terrified that Nevada City -- home to 3,100 people -- will go up in flames.Wildfires are a growing problem in California -- 15 of the 20 largest fires since 1932 have taken place in the last 20 years.

"Goats are very good at eating brush, says Huntsinger."These shrubs tend to be distasteful to most animals, but goats like them." Huntsinger also advocates the use of cattle and sheep in fire prevention. They pair well with goats because they eat different plants. The #goats are back to dine on fine grass and reduce fire danger near our home. ❤️🐐#California'sNaturalFirefighters pic.twitter.

— Linda Childers May 3, 2016 Senum says the response to Goat Fund Me has been"amazing." Contributions have poured in from local residents, from across the state and around the world. At the time of writing, the fund had reached $26,000 of its $30,000 target. Senum is pursuing additional revenue streams including government grants and corporate donations."My saying is -- the more we raise, the more we graze.

I love goats. Such hard workers!

Guess Trump was right - not global warming but landscaping by the state. How does realDonaldTrump know all this? Thanks for letting us know.

they use the symbol of the navy to clear land mines bye herding goats and sheep, too. navy knows the green grass of home... the only thing left is ROOTS...

Hope they don't fart too much..

I have raised goats &used them to clear brush but a goat really likes to eat from the tree limbs &they will occasionally graze on weeds & grass but if you really want it cleaned up run a heard of sheep in front or behind the goats & their won’t be enough vegetation left to burn

What about all the extra gas, and poop In areas not traditionally part of that ecosystem? ClimateChangeIsReal

But what about the Goat Farts? AOC GreenNewDeal cowfarts LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Does that include electing them ?

Koza nostra

This excites me.

hahahahahahahahahaa Indians have been doing this for a long time, You just now learning it CNN? FYI we eat the Goats also.. very Yummy, hahahaha

I think McConnell would confirm a goat if Trump nominated one. They certainly possess a higher level of intellect than many of Trump’s nominees.

Yep, looks like a bunch of Democrats.

That will work, until they decide to take over.

Make America Rake Again!

California; it's about time you consider this

Effects on vegetation & ecosystem are well calculated? This massive number of goats look damaging the environment.

Yep, this has been a thing here, for years.

You must be 'kiddin' sorry

Nature has always the best countermeasures

Every chance to show a goat right?

哈哈哈哈

But they don’t have any hands..... how I’ll they rake the forest floor?

The best way to prevent Wild fire to find a weapon to force Trump the Donkey to accept that the climate changed is real and human plays a great role in changing it to worse

It's also about the green new deal - isn't it?

njmike731 Your most beloved President ever (Sources Say that he is) actually put a few Goats on his two Golf properties in Bedminster to receive a $80,000 farmland tax break.

Why is this important

If they would simply allow proper forest management this wouldn’t be an issue.

Mama larr😃😅😅❤️

AOC won't like this. Too much gas
