Fluffy fire prevention crews chomp their way through the Bay Area and help the environment

A small San Francisco nonprofit has assembled and developed a fire prevention squad of hungry, woolly ruminants that it rents out to public and private property owners throughout much of the Bay Area. City Grazing is a goat-powered organization focusing on “sustainable land management and fire risk reduction through outreach, education and implementation of goat grazing,” according to the company’s mission statement. The nonprofit, under the leadership of executive director Genevieve Church, maintains a herd of about 100 goats at company headquarters in the Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco.
