Ducklings released into woodlands near New Castle Road
Members of the Prospect Borough/Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Department rescued eight baby ducklings Friday evening from a storm drain on New Castle Road near Moraine State Park.
The ducklings apparently fell through the drain’s grate at some point shortly before 6:15 p.m. on Friday.
“It took us about 25 minutes to get them all together down there and get them put into a bucket so we could get them out of there,” said Nate Blackwood, Prospect Borough/Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Department fire chief.
“He had to chase them and corral them into a corner, and we just picked them up with our hands and put them in a bucket,” said Walt Breidenstein, second lieutenant.
