Twice in the past week suburban ducklings found themselves stuck in storm drains and in need of rescue and both times local first responders rose to the challenge.
Gurnee Community Service Officers Kathy Ronzani and Hector Borrero sprung into action to retrieve eight ducklings discovered in a sewer drain near the Menards at 6401 Grand Ave., last Thursday. And on Sunday, Countryside Fire Protection District firefighters including Jake Smith were summoned to scoop up 13 ducklings that had fallen into a sewer drain on the campus of Vernon Hills High School.
When it comes to ducks, organizations that help raise and heal wild animals like Flint Creek only are needed in scenarios where the ducklings' mother cannot be found. While other animals may be willing to help raise someone else's biological offspring, Keller said ducks certainly do not.
