Parsippany First Responders Rescue Multiple Ducklings

PARSIPPANY, NJ - It took a team effort at Arlington Plaza Saturday to solve a duck tale as there were some little ones who needed saving.

Parsippany Police and Animal Control, along with Parsippany Fire District #5, Parsippany Rescue and Recovery, and Par-Troy EMS responded to Arlington Plaza to assist in rescuing multiple ducklings that fell through a water drain grate.

While the mother duck looked on, first responders worked to catch the stranded ducklings, officials said. Two were caught, and since the others were further down the drainpipe fire personnel slowly added water to the drainpipe so they could swim to safety and hopefully reunite with the rest of their family.
