VIDEO: A Fort Bend County family’s goose may be that honking hero we all need. That goose — named Goosey — alerted his owner’s family to a fire that started in their barn earlier last week. The heroics were captured on video.
Goosey is only about four months old, and most of the time, he keeps to himself. But early Tuesday morning, Goosey made sure his family knew something was wrong.
“I was watching TV and I conked out on the couch,” said Bert Gerber.
That’s when Goosey let out several honks in the middle of the night — a sound the family hadn’t heard before. It was all caught on their security camera. Their barn was on fire and Goosey was sounding the alarm.
“I just casually came outside and I saw a fire billowing out of there,” he said. “I grabbed a water hose and ran over there.”
He quickly put out the flames. The animals inside were somehow safe. A few more minutes, the family says, could have changed everything.
