The Chief said an officer patrolling near Randol Mill Park was flagged down by a group of children who wanted help getting to several ducklings that had fallen into a storm drain and couldn't get out.

The officer called in reinforcements from the Arlington Fire Department and soon there was a family reunion of sorts.

All the little ducklings were rescued, safely, and reunited with their mom -- which seemed fitting on Easter weekend.
