A highlight of this year’s fair is the return of SDG&E’s popular brush-clearing goats. Guests can meet the goats, feed them, and learn how they help prevent wildfires by managing overgrown vegetation. The goats also star in their own SDG&E Instagram account—@thegoatsdge—where followers can track their work and pick up safety tips year-round.

Speakers at the event include CALFIRE’s public information officer, SDG&E spokesperson Roland Franklin, and bilingual spokesperson Humberto Gurmilan.
