WATCH: Champaign firefighters rescue ducklings from storm drain

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — The Champaign Fire Department came to the rescue Monday after a passerby found baby ducks trapped in a storm drain.

Abbie Irwin, an Urbana resident, spotted the feathered family while making DoorDash deliveries. A worried mother duck circled the storm drain with her ducklings trapped inside.

Firefighters and an unknown man arrived at the scene. A fire truck was even sent and used for the rescue operation.

The team soon managed to fish out all nine ducklings and return them to their mother.

The family then continued their journey. Irwin recorded some videos of the happy reunion below:
