COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — Colorado Springs Fire Engine 23 rescued baby ducklings on Friday, June 13, who were found wandering around a busy parking lot.

According to the Colorado Springs Fire Department, a concerned community member called them for help after noticing a mama duck and her babies walking around a public parking lot.

The crew says they let the mom watch as they placed the baby ducks in a box, which they used to lead the mama duck to a safer place outside of harm’s way.
