United States - May 06, 2025 A routine call turned into a dramatic rescue on May 6, when deputies from the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office discovered eight ducklings trapped in a storm drain. The mother duck stood nearby, visibly distressed. Deputies quickly called in St. Johns County Fire Rescue for help. Working together, the teams used a bucket and net to gently lift the ducklings to safety. Body camera footage captured the moment the ducklings were gathered. “Put in the bucket. So sweet,” a deputy said. The video also showed the ducklings waddling back to their mother. “Go to your mom. There we go,” another deputy said. A final word from a deputy summed it up: “That’s what we’re here for. Save the ducklings.”
