One Southern Minnesota fire department rescued a stuck duck inside a chimney. Albert Lea Fire Rescue responded to a residence over the weekend after a homeowner thought there was something stuck in their chimney and crews determined that the ‘thing’ stuck was a mallard. After a few minutes, working the flue open, and some coaxing, the duck was brought to safety and released back outside. Crews are advising homeowners, however, to call animal control rather than the fire department in case an animal ends up trapped in a chimney.
