A spokesperson from Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "A slightly unusual rescue yesterday for the crew from Southam, but when they received the call to say that a mother duck was in distress, due to her six ducklings being stuck down a storm drain, they knew they had to assist.

"With a bit of careful planning and a little help from a hose reel, the family were soon reunited. Needless to say, the mother duck was very happy. What more of a reward could we ask for."
