Salon.com People | Oregon rescuers go after last body Joiner, the assistant fire marshal at the Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue department, was one of five people from the department who were climbing. His 14-year-old son, Cole, was among those who fell in the crevasse, but he wasn't seriously injured.

"When I found out he was alive, it was an emotional moment," Cleve Joiner said. "I just kind of fought back the tears and carried on."
