Kent firefighters rescued 13 ducklings that had fallen into a storm drain Tuesday morning on the East Hill.
A passerby stopped by the East Hill fire station along 116th Avenue Southeast to report ducklings had fallen into a storm drain and couldn’t get out, according to a Kent Fire Department media release.
The Station 74 crew of Capt. Jim Merritt and firefighters Steve Smith and Brent Flatness responded to the call. Smith and Flatness were able to reach into the drain and rescue the ducklings.
They placed the ducklings in a bucket and released them in a pond across the street. The mother duck, which had been flying around watching the rescue, returned to the pond to care for her ducklings.
