A goat named Goldie accompanied firefighters battling a small wildfire in Colorado. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Goldie — short for Golden Oreo — followed firefighters for two days as they actively fought flames and cleared brush. She joined the crew on July 8-9, 2026, during the Rock Creek Fire in Colorado Springs.
Firefighters said Goldie lifted their spirits and provided moral support. The goat's owner is unknown, but she may belong to a local resident. Goldie became popular among firefighters, who photographed her and shared images on social media.
The Colorado Springs Fire Department published photos of Goldie, noting her help to volunteers. One firefighter said: "Goldie was an important member of our team. She made us smile and made the work easier."
The Rock Creek Fire started on July 8, 2026, and burned about 10 acres. Firefighters fully contained it by July 9. Goldie's presence positively affected the firefighters' morale.
