FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - Fort Lauderdale Police officers sprang into action when they received a call that a group of ducklings were trapped in a storm drain.
The call came after a mother duck was spotted pacing frantically in front of a storm drain where her 12 ducklings had fallen into, May 16.
Officers were able to open the storm drain open and used a dustpan scoop to pull the trapped ducklings out, carefully lifting them to safety.
The ducklings were happily reunited with their mother.
The whole rescue was captured on officer-worn body camera footage.
Following the rescue, FLPD posted a statement on social media that read:
“At FLPD, no life is too small and no rescue is too big. From people to pets, our officers show up with heart every single day.”
