In 1979, the fire company began handing out an award at each year's banquet to an outstanding member of our Ambulance crew, Earl Luther and Robert Sacks. The award was named the "Luther-Sacks Award."  The award reads; "After the passing of two exemplary men in the field of ambulatory work in the service of the Folcroft Fire Company No.1, it seemed fitting in the eyes of the ambulance committee that an award be given in their behalf to a person or persons most deserving of such an award."  The award was discontinued after 2007, when staffing our Ambulance was outsourced to Fitzgerald Mercy Hospital EMTs.
