Florida's Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue team has been busy fighting fires ... and saving baby animals.

This week firefighters helped a kitten and some ducks that were in distress.

Their efforts started Sunday when ducklings got stuck in a drain. Don’t worry, they are safe now.

Animals were in peril again on Monday when a days-old kitten got stuck in a crane. Firefighters were called to Weston after a fisherman said he heard meowing from the machinery, WSVN reported.

The kitten was saved and brought to a vet for care, according to WSVN.

The firefighters’ efforts didn’t go unnoticed. People on Facebook and Twitter applauded them for saving the animals.
