Lucky ducks rescued

Florida firefighters came to the rescue of group of ducklings who got stuck in a storm drain.

The Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District posted a cellphone video on their Facebook page showing the dramatic rescue.

At first the ducklings weren't co-operating but it didn't take long once their mother started quacking at her baby ducks.

Firefighters patiently and gently pulled the ducklings out of the drain one at a time and returned them to their frantic mother who kept circling the rescuers.

“The video of the momma duck calling to her babies was life-like enough for the ducklings to swim out of the drain and close enough for firefighters to reach them,” the fire service said in the Facebook post.

Another duck, presumed to be the father of the ducklings, flew back and forth erratically over the firefighters throughout the duration of the rescue event.
