St. Petersburg Fire Rescue went to 1200 Crescent Lake Drive N to investigate a report of a duck stuck in a dryer vent. Not just any duck, but a "local duck," authorities said.
Homeowner Paul Smith, 56, said he heard an unusual noise when he woke up Tuesday morning. Quacking, to be precise. Smith found a beak sticking out of a dryer vent. It was attached to a duck.
"Its head was just bobbing up and down," Smith said. "I didn't know whether they could bite or not. I wasn't going to stick my hand up there."
Firefighters used tin snips to free the male quacker. Smith's house is a short distance from Crescent Lake, so he thought the duck must have flown on to his roof, went down the dryer vent Santa-style and got trapped.
After the duck was freed, Smith clapped and shouted, "All right!" Then the unnamed duck waddled off to the lake.
