Carson City Public Works
Carson City Public Works Streets Supervisor Justin Tiearney participated in a duckling rescue operation Thursday. Around 10 a.m., a Carson City resident called in a report to the Nevada Humane Society concerning baby ducklings in a neighborhood storm drain.
Shortly after Animal Control Officers contacted Public Works for the removal of a storm drain inlet. Tiearney arrived on scene removed the drain inlet and assisted Nevada Humane Society in their duckling rescue.
Thank you to the observant resident who reported the incident to NHS and thank you NHS for your continuous efforts in protecting our neighborhood animals. If you come across a duck in distress near a storm drain please check the drain for quacking sounds.
If you hear ducklings please call Nevada Humane Society in Carson City at (775) 887-2171.
