Firefighters rescued two ducklings from an Oregon City storm drain Friday, officials said.
A couple near Beavercreek Road and Highway 213 saw the ducklings struggling to follow their mother up a curb when they fell into the drain, said Jed Wachlin of Clackamas Fire District No. 1.
The couple called the non-emergency line and a fire engine from Station 16 was dispatched about 9:30 a.m.
Firefighters quickly found the ducklings and pulled them out safely, using "the simple compassion and care located in every Clackamas tool box," Wachlin said.
Aww, so sweet!
The ducks probably got washed in there when the resevoir was drained because the guy peed in it:

So cute! Glad they were rescued.
Gosh, I hope they didn’t pee in it. Oregon takes that $#!t real series like. I’m mean, it’s a Hugh issue.
