Mother's Day Turns Special For A Duck And Ducklings After Rescue By Manchester Firefighters

MANCHESTER, CT — Mother's Day turned out to be special for a momma duck, her ducklings and a Manchester Fire Department crew that saved them.

On Sunday, the duck family left its nest along a section of Hilliard Street for a stroll, but the ducklings — and Mom — became stuck in a storm drain, fire officials said.

The MFD's Engine 7 then came to the rescue and managed to get them all out, fire officials said.

They were all eventually transported back to their pond, safe and sound, fire officials said.
