Burlington Firefighters Rescue 3 Goslings From Storm Drain

BURLINGTON, MA — Burlington firefighters saved three goslings from a storm drain and reunited them with their family.

Firefighters were called to Burlington Mall Road for a report of goslings that had fallen into a storm drain Monday at 12:35 p.m., according to a statement.

Firefighters found the goslings chirping from inside a storm drain. Crews stopped traffic in the area and removed the drain cover.

Firefighter Michael Bennett grabbed the three goslings out of the storm drain, with the help of Firefighter Eric FitzGerald, who kept them corralled until they could be released safely.

All three were released across the street from where they were found and reunited with their family.

“Our department is committed to protecting the lives of our community members, no matter how small. This was a great save and I commend our department members for their dedication to service,” said Burlington Fire Chief Andrew Connerty.
