City Fire responded quickly to assist mama duck and her 9 ducklings.<\/p>\n

After retrieving them from the drain, the ducklings dried off a bit in the bushes and were then on the move again, crossing Court street on their way to the Tonawanda creek. City Fire assisted the family in crossing the road and making it up from the tall curb. They also blocked the storm drain on Court street as they passed.<\/p>\n
