In those times it was known as Besh-Ba-Gowah, which translates to “the place of metal”.

MY HEROES – GLOBE FIRE DEPT
Hi,
I am a volunteer for Wild At Heart – a rescue, rehab and release organization for birds of prey. I wanted to give recognition and praise to your outstanding fire department for saving the life of a baby owl today. They rescued it from a chimney where it had been trapped for at least 3 days. The homeowner did what he could to free the bird but was unsuccessful. The owl was covered in soot and a little dehydrated but will probably be fine. I also would like to recommend that everyone who has a fireplace put screening over the top of it, to prevent birds from becoming trapped.
Judie Agee
Advice from Wild At Heart:
1) Please ensure that your chimneys are covered with wire mesh small enough that a bird or other creature cannot get through it and fall into the chimney.
2) Call Wild At Heart at 480-595-5047 if you find a raptor (owl, hawk, falcon, eagle) that needs to be rescued.
