Kootenai County Sheriff's Department

This goat shattered a slider at a home in Athol, Idaho on Thursday.

ATHOL, Idaho - Firefighters in northern Idaho relied on back up from the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office while fighting off a mountain goat that charged and damaged an Athol home.

Jack Krill, chief of the Timberlake Fire Protection District, says the horned intruder tore off the screen of a glass door at the home and then charged at it on Thursday.

Firefighters found the goat standing on the back porch, where it refused to leave.

A Kootenai County sheriff deputy finally convinced the animal to move by nudging it with a stick. The mountain goat wandered back into the nearby woods with a few small cuts on its face.

The homeowner was unharmed.
