Need a break from all the scary coronavirus news? Watch this adorable duckling rescue

When you feel like the walls are closing in around you, you can always go back and watch this video and calm down.

One, two, three: Awwww.

Over the weekend, a crew from Naples Fire Rescue was on a serious mission. And it had nothing, thankfully, to do with making sure citizens were social distancing amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Some curious ducklings got themselves caught in a drain.

“Engine One personnel successfully rescued six ducklings this morning and returned them to their concerned mother,” according to the department’s Facebook post.

One video shows a firefighter reaching into the open drain and pulling out a fluffy, little guy. Then another.

Another later video shows the family waddling off, going their merry way.
