JCPL Teens

Arvada Fire District House 5 and Arvada Animal Control arrived to rescue the ducks.  They were able to remove the grate and rescued 8 of the babies right away.

Three of the babies had run down the sewer tunnels and they lowered the mama duck down to call for them.  It took a few minutes and all eleven babies were rescued.

Today is the first career day for the fireman on the right (sorry, we didn't get names).  They pointed out that most firemen don't get even one rescue in their careers and here he was rescuing 11 on his first day.

We believe these babies were only about a day old.  We have ducks nesting in our front yard and we think this mama was taking her brand new babies across the yard to the canal that runs behind the library.  Their first swim was successful!

Thank you to the Arvada Fire Department and Arvada Animal Control for your help!
