Darling Ducklings Rescued By Livermore-Pleasanton Firefighters

PLEASANTON, CA — Eight darling ducklings run amok were rescued Tuesday after they ended up in a Pleasanton storm drain, fire officials said via social media. Livermore-Pleasanton firefighters from Engine 91 saved the ducklings from the drain and reunited them with their anxious mother.

Firefighters from all over have been busy with Bay Area animal rescues over the last several months.

Last week, firefighters in Vacaville responded to a call to help rescue a dog that was stuck in a dryer vent hole. After arriving, they found a year-old puppy who was in the process of learning a tough lesson about literally sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.

In March, a blind Labrador Retriever who had been missing for eight days and seven nights was found lying on the forest floor, seemingly lifeless, by an off-duty firefighter and his friend out for a hike in Santa Cruz County.
