The ever-useful duct tape became duck tape Tuesday morning when firefighters used it, along with pike poles and more than a little ingenuity, to free a duck trapped on the ice off Strathcona Park.
A bystander called them at 9:24 a.m. to report that the female Goldeneye duck was stuck on the banks of the Rideau River.

Firefighters broke the ice around the duck so it could swim off into open water, both saving the duck and heading off human injury if a well-meaning rescuer had ventured close to open water.
Citizens should leave these kinds of rescues to firefighters who have the tools and equipment to respond safely, the service warned.
Crews help when pets or wildlife are in danger to make sure that their owners or animal lovers stay safe, the service said, but calls are tackled on a reduced priority without lights and sirens and crews are reassigned if a human emergency comes along.
“Our goal today is to share this message to help residents stay safe and make the right call,” the fire service said. “We also request that pet owners monitor the activity of their pets and keep them on a leash.”
