BURLINGTON, Mass. — Crews in Burlington reunited three wayward goslings with their family after the birds fell through a storm drain on Tuesday afternoon.
Fire officials say the goslings fell into a grate on Burlington Mall Road just after 12:30 p.m.
The goslings could be heard chirping inside the drain, and crews quickly stopped traffic to remove the cover.
Firefighter Michael Bennett grabbed the goslings from the hole and was able to corral them with the help of Firefighter Eric FitzGerald, according to authorities.
