Firefighters removed six goats and one dog from Maclellan Island on Monday afternoon. TVA is increasing the water flow on the Tennessee River to help with the impact of flooding north of us so there were concerns about the animals with rising water levels. The goats were placed on the island to help get rid of invasive underbrush. The animals were cooperative with the rescue operation conducted by Fireboat 10's Red Shift crew in conjunction with the Audubon Society. All of the goats and their guard dog were safely evacuated from the island for the time being.
