Firefighters from Gerrards Cross Fire Station, part of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue, were called into action after people heard chirping from the drain.

The team wrote on Twitter: “Its not only fires and RTC’s. Huey, Dewey, and Louie were rescued by fire crews today after a member of the public heard chirps coming from a nearby drain. All children were returned to their relieved mother without injury.”

The firefighters tagged the post #AllInADaysWork.
