It wasn香蕉视频直播檛 your typical call for the Kelowna Fire Department, but when a non-emergency call came in on Sunday afternoon, firefighters were able to respond to some drama unfolding on Dilworth mountain.

Duck drama, you might call it.

It all began when the nine ducklings ended up down a storm a drain in front of several Dilworth homes on Sunday. The drain was under a car, leaving the mother standing above the grate, looking down.

It was then that residents realized they would need help to lift the grate. Enter the KFD.

香蕉视频直播淭hese things do happen and we usually try to help the public where ever it makes sense and without putting our guys at risk, of course,香蕉视频直播� said platoon captain Steve Wallick.

When firefighters arrived, they removed the grate and used a borrowed fishing net to scoop the nine newborns out of the water and reunite them with their mother.

香蕉视频直播淎ll the babies were exhausted with their first touch of water which could have been a disaster,香蕉视频直播� said Treiber. 香蕉视频直播淚t took a short while for the family to rest and then they moved on. Our firemen came to the rescue.香蕉视频直播�

Firefighters act as first-responders and go out to medical emergencies every day, as well as accidents and fire calls. Wallick said some of the more serious calls can be marine rescue or industrial rescues. However he said this was a nice community effort on Sunday that had everybody smiling.

香蕉视频直播淓verybody was happy and it even shows in the report,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 kind of nice when we can do that because we香蕉视频直播檙e usually responding to fairly serious events. When we can do something like this it香蕉视频直播檚 a nice thing.香蕉视频直播�
