Gettysburg, PA - Gettysburg Fire Department responded to an unusual but heartwarming incident at the Amblebrook development after a group of ducklings wandered into a storm drain system.
Crews acted quickly, safely retrieving the stranded ducklings and bringing them back to the surface without incident. After ensuring all were accounted for, firefighters reunited the young birds with their mother at a nearby pond.
No injuries were reported. The lighthearted call ended on a positive note, with firefighters joking that future compensation might come in the form of breadcrumbs.
