Hundreds of grass-munching goats released to reduce fire risk

A huge herd of goats were released by the University of California, Berkeley, in the Berkeley Hills on Friday in order to reduce fire hazards.

The Berkeley Lab goats were herded to the tree-laden hill just below Blackberry Gate. The mass of goats were dispatched to reduce the risk of fire near the lab.
The goats eat the grass surrounding the lab, cutting it down short and reducing a potential fire hazard.

Motorists were treated to an impressive show as the hundreds of goats raced on their way.
