An unlikely team of heroes with names such as Vincent Van Goat and Selena Goatmez have emerged as the saviours of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, which was threatened in LA’s wildfires.

Several hundred goats were recruited earlier this year to graze on the grass around the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, which sits on a hill overlooking the Simi Valley.

Their efforts were not in vain.

“We were told by one of the firefighters that they believe that fire break made their job easier,” said Melissa Giller, a library spokeswoman.
