Firefighters from High Springs and Alachua County rescued a baby goat that got trapped Monday afternoon in a sinkhole on property on Northwest 268th Street. The Fire Department said the 9-week-old goat had fallen into a 40- to 50-foot hole. Rescue personnel arrived about 5 p.m. and spent two hours developing a plan to keep both the firefighter and the goat safe. Once all systems were in place, it took only 11 minutes for High Springs Lt. Kevin Pearson to retrieve the baby goat which, was then reunited with its mother. The Fire Department said the timing of Monday’s event was perfect, as firefighters from both agencies are in a week-long rescue class being held in High Springs.

The blaze, known as the Bobcat Fire, is expected to grow through Sunday and Monday as critical fire weather conditions continued due to gusty wind and low humidity. The Bobcat Fire started Sept. 6 and has already doubled in size over the last week — becoming one of Los Angeles County's largest wildfires in history, according to the Los Angeles Times. Though the Bobcat Fire neared the high desert community of Valyermo, a Benedictine monastery there appeared to have escaped major damage, according to the Los Angeles Times. More than 7,900 wildfires have burned more than 5,468 square miles (14,164 square kilometers) in California this year, including many since a mid-August barrage of dry lightning ignited parched vegetation. Meanwhile, officials were investigating the death of a firefighter on the lines of another Southern California wildfire that erupted earlier this month from a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device used by a couple to reveal their baby’s gender.

The fire grew to 142 square miles (368 square kilometers) on Saturday when winds pushed the flames into Juniper Hills. But, Los Angeles County park officials said the blaze destroyed the nature center at Devil’s Punchbowl Natural Area, a geological wonder that attracts some 130,000 visitors per year. The name of the firefighter killed in the nearby El Dorado Fire was being withheld until family members are notified. The El Dorado Fire has burned more than 34 square miles (89 square kilometers) and was 59% contained, with 10 buildings destroyed and six damaged. ___Associated Press writer John Antczak in Los Angeles and Daisy Nguyen in San Francisco contributed to this report.
