Spanish Fork • Thousands of residents have been evacuated from Utah County homes threatened by the Pole Creek and Bald Mountain fires. Nicole Boothe is taking in the ones with four feet or feathers.
Boothe placed an announcement on a Spanish Fork community website saying she had an acre of land and could accept anything as big as a goat.
Since the fire began forcing evacuations Thursday, Boothe has accepted 14 goats, two ducks and about 20 chickens, she said.
Many of the animals came from strangers.
