Firefighters in Indiana made a daring — make that a darling — rescue on Thursday.
Fire crews from the Carmel Fire Department answered the call to rescue a family of kittens who had become stuck in a storm drain. Firefighters say they’re used to pulling ducklings from drains, but not kittens.
According to the fire department, officials don’t know how the kittens got down there, but firefighters were able to pull them all out to safety. There was some water that had collected where the kittens were stuck.
In all, the fire department saved six kittens, WISH reported. They were all OK and taken to the Hamilton County Humane Society, according to WXIN and the fire department.
The Humane Society confirmed with Cox Media Group National Content Desk that the kittens are among the animals at the shelter. The shelter has so many kittens that they’re running out of food, according to a Facebook post published on Thursday afternoon.
