Firefighters rescue ducklings caught in sewer

By Howard B. Owens

Reader Holly Carney was on scene Sunday for a duck rescue. Carney tells us that a mother duck waited for help by a sewer where her ducklings had fallen. Firefighters, whom Carney calls "the true heroes of this town," arrived with nets to scoop out the babies. She says, " It was truly amazing.  They were so dedicated to the rescue of these animals.  Imagine how dedicated to our safety the are."

UPDATE: Holly just passed along this picture of the ducklings and momma.

Besides saving Human life, this is one of the rewards their job has to offer. Kudos to our Batavia firefighters!! What would we do without them.
