State’s first goat brigade

Deputy Commissioner Peter Mckechnie from the NSW Rural Fire Service chats to Luke Grant about a herd of 40 firefighting goats that are chewing through hectares of bushland to help reduce fire risk.

This is the state’s first goat brigade, the goats, sourced from Dry Creek Farm, a local business, ‘cell-graze’ between different patches of undergrowth through high-risk areas, including Clandulla and Lue.
