LOWELL, Ark. — The Lowell Fire Department (LFD) saved a baby goat from a shed fire on Monday, April 22.
Fire crews responded to the structure fire in the area of Phillips Road in rural Lowell.
When crews arrived, they said half of the storage shed was engulfed in flames. LFD said they were able to remove a baby goat from the shed and control the fire within 15 minutes.
