MERIDIAN, Idaho — A group of Meridian firefighters came to the rescue of some ducklings who became stuck in a storm drain Tuesday.

Firefighters were called to a parking lot near the intersection of Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue after someone noticed about a dozen of the little birds trapped beneath a grate.

Once on the scene, firefighters went to work removing the grate and scooping the ducklings. They were then reunited with the mother duck.
