Firefighters rescued a goat from a baaaad predicament after she took a tumble from the top of her favorite napping rock and found herself trapped in between two minivan-sized boulders.

PRESSURIZED air bags helped create more space between the boulders so the goat could wiggle out.

On Friday night, firefighters from Cal Fire San Diego County responded to a call for a goat rescue at a farm in a rural area of Descanso. The task was not simple, given the size and weight of the rocks between which the animal had become tightly pinned.

"The goat was very wedged down in there," Cal Fire Engineer Jason Robertson said. "We weren't able to free it by just coaxing it out."
