Cuyama Lamb Fire Department
Cuyama Lamb Fire Department
When the Chumash people were the most populous in Santa Barbara, large flocks of wild ungulates roamed the land munching on grasses, wild radishes, and various flora. By reducing the fuel load, goats and sheep helped keep wildfires in check by consuming material before the seasonal fires could.
Today Cuyama Lamb provides grazing services to the area, bringing a large flock to trim the grasses and trees, and give local residents a pop-up petting zoo. They’re pretty much the opposite of Smokey the Bear, and probably much more effective in actually preventing large scale fires.
