Frank Fowler Loomis (April 2, 1854 – September 19, 1936) was an American engineer and inventor who worked for the Akron, Ohio fire department. In 1874, Loomis, with the help of another engineer, developed four telegraph fire alarm boxes, which were patented in 1885. Loomis developed the city's fire alarm and control system and built the world's first police van. This van, however, was stolen and destroyed during the Akron riot of 1900. It was eventually restored and continued functioning for seven years before being overhauled in 1913. Loomis would also establish the "Loomis Award" in 1936 for fire service and heroism; only three firefighters received the award during its first fifty years.
