PHOTOS: Ducklings Trapped In Water Grate Rescued By Howell FD

HOWELL, NJ - Seven ducklings trapped inside a storm water grate near the Route 9 Walmart were rescued by members of Southard Fire Department.

The Monmouth County SPCA initially requested the rescue effort on Thursday evening, the fire department wrote in a Facebook post.

Responders promptly opened up the storm drain to retrieve seven ducklings that fell through the grate. An SPCA Officer used a duck call to gather the ducklings into a net.

“If interested in doing jobs like this, stop by for an application,” the department wrote on social media. “We would love to have you.”
