A work crew knocked over an abandoned home in Utah, then heard “chirping in the rubble,” rescuers said.
The demolition crew was working on a property on June 14 in Morgan when they heard noises that led them to a cute surprise, the Morgan County Fire & EMS said in a Facebook post.
They discovered eight baby raccoons “with no sign of mom,” rescuers said.

“Firefighters kept them comfortable and fed while they waited for an individual with a permit to legally raise raccoons,” the department said.
The department found said they eventually found new homes for the animals.
Morgan is about 45 miles northeast of Salt Lake City.
