It wasn’t exactly a daring rescue for Toronto firefighters, but a ‘clusterduck’ of a situation Thursday caught the hearts of many on social media.

Toronto Professional Fire Fighters’ Association shared video on their Twitter page and Instagram account showing efforts to save three ducklings who had fallen into a sewer grate in North York.

It started when a bystander noticed a mother duck in distress by the grate near Bathurst St. and Patricia Ave.

The bystander then heard “cries” from the drain underneath the grate and called for help.

When the firefighters arrived on scene, they found the three ducklings and used a scoop-like tool to grab the little not-so-ugly ducklings and pull them to safety.

After the quick rescue, they were reunited with their mother and siblings.

The rescue was captured on video and had over 1,000 views by Thursday night.
