Lots of folks know “Fireman Phil,” which isn’t a surprise, given the extent of his career in emergency services in Valparaiso and Porter County.
Phil Griffith, the founding director of Porter County Emergency Management Agency, retired chief of the Valparaiso Fire Department and dedicated volunteer at a training campus for first responders, was honored earlier this month as a Golden Hoosier by Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch. The award was established to acknowledge and recognize outstanding seniors for their lifetime of service to their communities. The award is the highest honor bestowed on a senior in Indiana.
“He was the first director here, and even though he is retired, he continues to be invaluable to us.” Griffith served in the U.S. Navy and was a firefighter for 30 years for the city of Valparaiso, three years as fire chief at U.S. Steel, and then became the inaugural director of the Porter County EMA. He also worked as an EMT for Porter Hospital for 15 years and as a reserve deputy sheriff for 13 years.
