Detech Firesense Technologies Gives to Wisconsin Burn Camp
Reaching out to communities to help citizens be educated about burn prevention and burn recovery is just the right thing to do for this provider of home fire safety equipment in Milwaukee, WI.
Mike Hafeman, President of Detech Firesense Technologies, said “You might ask; what gives certain communities their vitality? In most cases it has to do with how their citizens, public servants and local industry give back in the way of philanthropy and community service. DeTech is a strong believer in giving back to the communities its dealers of fire safety products and information serve.” We always preach to the independent dealers who represent our products that community outreach is just the right thing to do.”
Hafeman believes in practicing what he preaches. He has been involved with several organizations that have benefited local communities throughout his professional career. In recent years he was active in supporting the Wisconsin State Firefighters Memorial helping to raise funds for a very worthy cause. The board of directors had a very ambitious plan to build a beautiful memorial on the banks of the Wisconsin River in central Wisconsin as a display of respect for all fallen firefighters that had died in the line of duty. The memorial was finally completed in 2008.
Michael has also been a board member of the Wisconsin Alliance for Fire Safety since 2001.
The WAFS is a state wide nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting fire safety, burn prevention and to support burn survivors. For the past 15 the WAFS has sponsored an annual camp for burn injured youth between the ages of 7 and 17. The purpose of the camp is to provide for the unique needs of burn injured youth, while they are having fun, making friends, sharing feelings and developing self-esteem. This camp is very special for these children because it gives them an opportunity to be themselves with their injuries and surround themselves with others who have experienced similar challenges. All of these kids come from many different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds, yet at camp they are all the same!
The camp staff consists of mainly state firefighters, burn nurses and other caring individuals who return each year to guide the children as both healers and friends. There are typically 45-50 staff members who are all volunteers. Many of these individuals give up one week of vacation time to be with the kids.
Each year the WAFS sponsors between 70 and 90 burn survivors that cost over $100,000 annually which is funded 100% through donations. Understanding the importance of this wonderful event, the DeTech dealers in conjunction with home office have consistently raised money to support this great cause.
Mr. Hafeman is currently the Vice Chairman of the board and chair of the Education Committee. The Education Committee is mostly responsible for creating and distributing quality fire safety and burn prevention information to communities throughout the state of Wisconsin using several types of medium.
Recently, Michael has been personally responsible for developing an updated strategic plan for the WAFS titled: Fire Safety 2015. These new goals and strategies were reviewed and approved by the entire board of directors. They will set the path for the future initiatives of the organization that will continue to make it strong and vibrant.
‘We are proud to state that almost all of our independent DeTech FireSense Technologies Dealers do an amazing job at giving back to their communities in the form of community service and philanthropy” Mike concluded.
