Today, the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (#SBCoFD) announced an evolution in wildfire community risk reduction. SBCoFD and San Bernardino Count...y Land Use Services Department (SBCoLUS) will use goats to clear dry, grassy fuels that increase the threat of wildfire for hundreds of residents in the Little Mountain neighborhood of San Bernardino. This unique community risk reduction project is an environmentally friendly, safe and effective method of creating defensible space. These San Bernardino County agencies have partnered with Environment Land Management (aka ELM Goats) out of San Diego to bring over 250 goats to Little Mountain. The goats will eat away large sections of dry grass, weeds, and thistles, clearing approximately 50 acres of flammable materials. The goats will eat about 1 acre per day and are very effective in steep, rocky terrain. The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District is committed to looking for new, cost-effective methods to reduce the risk of wildfire. Fire officials will continue to seek funding to San Bernardino County Land Use Services Department (SBCoLUS) will use goats to clear dry, grassy fuels that increase the threat of wildfire for hundreds of residents in the Little Mountain neighborhood of San Bernardino. This unique community risk reduction project is an environmentally friendly, safe, and effective method of creating defensible space. The goats are protected from predators by an onsite goat handler and trained guard dogs, as well as around-the-clock, armed security provided by Allied Security. The guard dogs assist in herding the goats to make sure that they remain in the designated fenced areas. The City of City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department will provide the 300-400 gallons of water that the goats will drink per day. Goats are one of the most effective fire prevention tools available, explained San Bernardino County Fire Chief Dan Munsey. Areas cleared or thinned by goats recover more naturally and resist wildfires, giving fire crews the upper hand in protecting life and property. The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District is committed to looking for new, cost effective methods to reduce the risk of wildfire.
