NORTON, MA — A family of ducks was brought back together in Norton last week thanks to a helping hand from Norton fire and police.

A passerby noticed the mother duck milling about on the road by the sewer drain. When police and fire arrived they removed the drain grate and were able to successfully remove all the ducklings that had slipped down the drain using a net.
