Rescue Operations: Jim Young

Lucie Aylwin Dept: TORONTO - The heart-breaking decision to suspend rescue operations knowing someone may be trapped in the rubble of a collapsed building as happened in Elliot Lake, Ont. is among the hardest for first responders to make, experts said Tuesday, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "It's the most difficult thing for a first responder to cease operations because it's not what we do, it's not what we want to do," said Jim Young, who heads up the urban search and rescue task force in Vancouver and rejean Aylwin, right, the father of Lucie Aylwin who is presumed trapped in the wreckage of the Algo Centre Mall, walks by a memorial in Elliot Lake, Ont., on Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Rescue workers are attempting a new plan to search for survivors after the mall's roof collapsed Saturday, June 23, 2012.
