Mike Novak – Director of Fire Services
Mike is the Director of Fire Services for DT4EMS, LLC and has the main focus to integrate the Escaping Violent Encounters (EVE) program into the fire service. Mike entered the fire service in 1989 as a volunteer firefighter and is currently the Battalion Chief at Branson Fire Rescue in Branson, MO, where he has the responsibility of Training and Safety.
Mike attended the DT4EMS I/C in Branson, MO in 2010 and shortly after trained all Branson Fire Rescue personnel with the DT4EMS program. He soon realized that the program was designed with the EMS provider in mind and that the fire service could greatly benefit from this training as many of their calls are medical in nature. With the fire service as his focus, Mike has been working to expand the EVE program by presenting it at the University of Missouri Fire Rescue Training Institute’s Winter Fire School and in late 2011, become one of the Missouri Advocates for the Everyone Goes Home© Program which developed the Sixteen Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives. As the Missouri Advocate, his goal is to raise the awareness and importance, on a national level, of Initiative # 12 National protocols for response to violent incidents should be developed and championed. 
Mike began his instructional career in 2000 surprisingly by becoming a SCUBA instructor. In addition to the EVE Programs that he presents, he teaches fire service courses including Water/Dive Rescue, Hazardous Materials, and many other fire and EMS related courses. He is a Fire Service Instructor II, Fire Officer II, certified Incident Safety Officer, certified Health and Safety Officer, NREMT, and is currently working on a degree in Fire Service Administration.
If you are interested in any DT4EMS or EVE course he is ready to work with you to integrate it into your organization. Every firefighter, EMS provider, or loved one will benefit from the skills learned in one of the EVE programs and could save their life when presented with an attacker.
