A slight rumble could have brought the rest of it down. I was thinking ‘this could kill me’, and that’s not a feeling you ever have in training. But I did the search that was needed for the family and got out of there.”
Jay explained how a psychologist end up training in International Search and Rescue. He said: “I’ve been part of the team since 2010. I was living down in Essex and got into search and rescue, looking for missing people and I saw about this type of work and wondered if I could be that kind of person?
The USAR team trains one weekend a month at their headquarters near Salisbury, to help with search and rescue missions with collapsed structures or natural disasters.
