BURLINGTON — Fire Chief Andrew Connerty is pleased to share that the Burlington Fire Department saved three goslings from a storm drain and reunited them with their family.
On Monday, April 22 at 12:35 p.m. Burlington Fire was called to Burlington Mall Road for a report of goslings that had fallen into a storm drain.
Engine 2 responded to the scene and found the goslings chirping from inside a storm drain.
Crews immediately jumped into action and stopped traffic in the area to remove the drain cover.
Firefighter Michael Bennett grabbed the three goslings out of the storm drain, with the help of Firefighter Eric FitzGerald who kept them corralled until they could be released safely.
All three were released across the street from where they were found and reunited with their family.
“Our department is committed to protecting the lives of our community members, no matter how small. This was a great save and I commend our department members for their dedication to service,” said Chief Connerty.
