South Metro Fire Rescue (SMFR) announced in a post on December 3 that aerospace and defense company Lockheed Martin had hired 1,200 goats to prevent fires in the South Denver metro area.⁠
⁠
According to SMFR, the herd was brought in by Goat Green, a Colorado-based organization specializing in fire mitigation through grazing, to “graze on dry vegetation, reducing fire fuels and improving access for emergency responders in the event of a wildfire.”⁠
⁠
The initiative was aimed to help accelerate containment in the event of a fire.
