 	<title>Firefighter Rescue Goats and seek owner</title>
  	<category>News</category>

 <![CDATA[Firefighters Rescue Goats and Seek OwnerThere are times when a 
Firefighter/Medic is called upon to perform a task that may leave some people 
wondering what we are doing. So it was this afternoon in our lovely rural 
community of Croom. A community near Upper Marlboro comprised of single family 
homes with large yards, tobacco farms and forests with many narrow, winding 
roads. A citizen stopped by the Croom Fire/EMS Station #845 frantically seeking 
the firefighterâs assistance. She explained that a couple of farm animals were 
wandering on the roadway in front of Frederick Douglas High School in the 8000 
block of Croom Road and vehicles were swerving to avoid hitting 
them.Without hesitation the firefighters of B-shift immediately went to 
investigate the situation and possibly provide some assistance. They drove to 
the scene on-board their fire engine, paramedic unit and the battalion utility 
truck. The Engine and Paramedic Unit remained available in the event of a 
emergency call was dispatched as the crews operated here. As they approached the 
scene they observed two citizens attempting to gather 2 goats which were 
avoiding their capture by scattering across the roadway in front of oncoming 
traffic. The goats, good samaritans and motorists were all in danger of being 
injured or killed.It was clear to Fire Fighter/Medic Lieutenant Lisa 
Viars that their primary mission was not to capture the stray goats but to 
protect good samaritans, a nearby road crew and motorists from being involved in 
a tragic crash. Lt. Viars and her crew of Fire Fighter/Medic Pam Dorsey-Borders, 
Fire Fighter John Henson, Fire Fighter/Medic Chris Brooks, Fire Fighter/Medic 
Regan Carter and Brandywine Volunteer Fire Fighter Glenn Johnson immediately 
stopped all vehicle traffic on Croom Road in the area of the High School and 
planned to remove the hazard, the 2 goats and the gathering crowd of civilians, 
from the roadway.Lieutenant Viars describes the ensuing ârescueâ of the 
goats, âThere were several attempts to capture the small goats, as they kept 
running in fear from the crew members. One goat was caught and placed in the bed 
of UT845. Croom Road was shut down to traffic while the crew attempted to 
capture the 2nd goat with the citizenâs assistance. In the meantime, the first 
goat daringly leapt from the utility truck, crying (bahhing) for its sibling. A 
road/landscaping crew working on the shoulder at Frederick Douglas High School 
joined in the rescue attempt at this time. Each time the crew would get close 
enough to pick them up, the goats were off and running. After several attempts 
of crawling under vehicles and apparatus, and chasing the young goats through 
the weeds and trees, the crew members, with the help of the citizens and road 
crew, managed to herd the goats into a small area and be captured.âOne 
of the main reason that our firefighters rescue or capture animals and pets that 
find themselves in unusual situations is that if we do not effect the rescue 
ourselves using the correct tools and safety procedures than a citizen or pet 
owner may attempt the rescue themselves and end up being injured and having to 
be rescued by us anyway. The rescue of animals and pets is always a decision 
based on safety first of everyone involved and certainly compassion for the 
animal/pet and their owner is taken into consideration. It is clear in this 
situation that if firefighters had not intervened there could have been tragic 
accident.With the goats being held by firefighters, the crew had another 
issue; what to do with the two pygmy goats. With the consent of the stations 
volunteer chief, the crew transported the goats back to Fire/EMS Station #845. 
Viars and Carter each held a goat providing comfort during the trip back to the 
station where the goats were kept in a clean storage area and provided with 
nourishment.The husband of Lt. Viars has volunteered to keep the goats 
until such time as the owner can be identified to retrieve them. Lt. Viars 
stated that one of the pygmy goats has a sticker with the number â574â on its 
head. The crew members affectionately named the two goats â574â and â845â (845 
after the Fire/EMS Station number).Prince Georgeâs County Fire/EMS Chief 
Marc S. Bashoor joins Upper Marlboro Volunteer Chief Busi in congratulating the 
crew for taking control of an unusual and potentially dangerous situation and 
bringing it to a safe conclusion with no one being injured.Anyone with 
information about the ownership of the pygmy goats should contact the Croom 
Fire/MS Station at 301-883-7745 or 443-404-9375....]]>
