A new fire erupted over night in Southern California, dubbed the Easy Fire, and it’s currently threatening the Ronald Reagan library in Simi Valley:

I hope everyone stays safe. We had a packed house there last night – it’s an incredible place. The firefighters are doing amazing work to protect homes and buildings. https://t.co/e5yBKrJIfU — Bret Baier (@BretBaier) October 30, 2019

Now, to explain our headline. . .

The library uses goats to clear brush around the facility and — crosses fingers — that looks to have saved the building today:

"The fire perimeter from the goats is what saved us today." – Rep from the Reagan Library. Ventura County Fire folks bring out a legion of goats to eat up brush and create a natural fire break. https://t.co/KktVW6PwdG — Nate Johnson (@nsj) October 30, 2019

Here’s an old tweet showing the goats in action:

Goats protecting the GOAT president? We love it:

Maybe California’s utilities can borrow a page from the Gipper and get some goats of their own?
