Thousands of ducklings saved by Hungarian firefighters

Twenty thousand ducklings have been saved from a barn fire in eastern Hungary.

Firefighters coming to the rescue after a fire broke out on a farm.

After extinguishing the blaze, firefighters used buckets to scoop up the ducklings in order to take them to a safer area.

Authorities say it was easy for the firefighters to catch them as the ducklings huddled together in large groups, afraid of the flames.

They were examined by a veterinarian and placed in another barn where they are safe and sound.
