🦆🚒 Duck, Duck… RESCUE! 🚒🦆
Earlier today, Chief Petrakis from Channahon Fire Protection District noticed something was a little fowl near a storm drain near our station on McClindon Rd. A concerned mama duck was pacing back and forth, clearly quacking under pressure.
He contacted our crews and we responded quickly to discover the reason for her distress—a group of ducklings had taken an unexpected detour into the drain system! After some careful teamwork, patience, and a few duck-related negotiations, the little waddlers were safely rescued and reunited with their relieved mama.
No injuries were reported, although several ducklings have already requested swimming lessons and GPS devices.
A big thank you to Chief Petrakis for spotting the situation, Emily Collins from Minooka Public Works helping ensure this family was reunited with mamma duck and Sgt Macdonald from Minooka Police Department for traffic control to keep us safe!
All’s well that ends with a happy quack! 🦆❤️
