Boy, 4, trapped in storm drain during Queensland's record-breaking downpour
As heavy downpour slammed south east Queensland on Saturday, there were fears a young boy may have been swept away after playing near a drain and becoming stuck.
Four-year-old Drasic had crawled further into a storm drain pipe than five of his friends and couldn't get out.
Neighbours called firefighters to Ridge Garden Drive, Morayfield, around 10.30am on Saturday.
Within 15 minutes, fire crews were able to lift the drain grate away to retrieve the pre-schooler.

"He would have been washed away, because there was more rain on its way," his relieved mum Vanessa told 7 News.
"So luckily they all came to the rescue just in time."
