When the Oklahoma City Fire Department isn't battling blazes, they're tasked with very rewarding rescue missions. 

On Monday morning, Engine 30 was dispatched to a storm drain where a group of baby ducks slipped through its grates and were stuck without an exit.

Fortunately, all of the ducklings were safely rescued and returned to their mother, and they continued on their normal duckling business.
