A mama duck was reunited with her little one thanks to local firefighters.
New West firefighters are accustomed to fighting fires and extricating people from cars, but they performed an unusual rescue near the Glenbrook fire hall on the weekend when they retrieved a duck from a storm sewer that drains into a pond behind the hall.
“One of the guys got off the rig. They heard the mother duck making quite the commotion and then they heard a little peep in the sewer,” said Fire Chief Tim Armstrong, noting they found a ducking in the storm drain. “One of the guys got down in there and coaxed the little duck to come to the end of the pipe and they got him out and reunited him with his mother. It was a duck rescue.”
