Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, California, has initiated Operation Goat Rope, utilizing 471 goats to graze on dry brush and invasive grasses. This innovative pilot program is part of a broader fire prevention strategy aimed at reducing wildfire risks to military infrastructure and nearby communities. The goats, managed by a local grazing company, will help create strategic fuel breaks by thinning overgrown areas, enhancing landscape resilience. Fire Chief Joshua Allen emphasized that these measures provide essential time and tactical advantages for firefighting crews during wildfires, ultimately improving safety and effectiveness in fire suppression efforts.
