The station has experience caring for animals, they have two 'station goats' living in their backyard.
When he’s not putting out fires, Kolabis cares for the station’s two goats, Drip and Torch.The goats keep the yards surrounding the station trimmed, and they’re popular with tour groups. The firefighters even made them their mascots.“Animal control said they could come get it in a few days but they said they’d probably end up putting it down,” Kolabis said. “So he was kind of at a loss for what to do.
It doesn’t have a name yet since the firefighters don’t want to get too attached if the owner shows up. He does have a couple of tags on him, but it’s not clear who he belongs to.“Oh yeah, they’re definitely therapy goats,” Kolabis said.“Laughter is the best medicine, I think,” Kolabis said.
Graham Fire and Rescue said they have plenty of space for their animals but wanted it to be made clear it is not a place they want people dropping off their stray animals.
