A goat has been rescued by firefighters from up a tree partly submerged near a swollen river in Dargaville on Monday.
The animal is believed to have been washed into the branches during Sunday's wild weather.
A fire crew and the SPCA got the goat down about 11am near Tangiteroria
Bridge, Fire Service spokesman Jaron Phillips said.
Difficult access hindered the crew but the goat came down safely.
"I think it's doing well," Phillips said.
