MONTGOMERY CO., MD — Four ducklings were saved from a storm drain on Sunday by emergency personnel.

First responders with the Sandy Spring Volunteer Fire Department were alerted around 3:45 p.m. to reports of four baby ducks who had become trapped inside a drain.

It wasn't until nearly 5:30 p.m. that the ducklings were safely retrieved and reunited with their mom, Piringer said.
