bylaws for technical rescue teams

I have become the deputy coordinator for the newly formed county rescue team and the first item to we need to establish is a set of bylaws. We sure could use some input from any brothers or sisters involved in this specialized team work on how their bylaws read. we are still in the beginning phase and could use all the help we can get. Thanks

That will help maintain local consistency within equipment and training guidelines. Use your ICS and risk management guidelines as a starting point also. When your in process watch out for conflicts between your team objectives and the limits of your budget and staffing. Technical Rescue is animal that requires constant "feeding."

Good luck, stay safe, train often and share knowledge.
