 Bill Hayes began his career with the American Red Cross Midway-Kansas Chapter in 1995 where he became a member of the Disaster Action Team (DAT) taking fire calls throughout all hours of the night.

In 2009, he became the DAT Coordinator and has helped to revamp the structure of Red Cross fire response in the area. Bill is a dispatcher and is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. After being notified of a fire, he can either send out teams or respond himself.

Bill spends countless hours training new DAT members, and his training methods have been applied both locally and throughout the state. Whether the disaster is local or national, Bill continues to support the American Red Cross and assist families during their greatest need.
