South Metro Fire Rescue saves ducklings who fell down Lindsay Park storm drain
DENVER (KDVR) — South Metro Fire Rescue saved a group of ducklings on Friday afternoon who had fallen down a storm drain in Greenwood Village's Lindsay Park.
SMFR said in a post on X that its Tower 32 crew was able to rescue about 10 ducklings who had been separated from their mother from the storm drain, as 'Mama Duck' watched from a nearby creek bank.

The crew initiated the rescue by removing the metal grate over the storm drain before lowering a rescuer into it.
A 'concerned citizen' walking his dog first alerted SMFR to the scene, saying in a video posted on X that the department responded in 'less than five minutes.'
