Officer Norman Philbrick was directing traffic at the scene of a major structure fire in Auburn when he was struck following the collision of two fire trucks in an intersection. The force was so great that the handgun Officer Philbrick was wearing was bent to nearly a ninety degree angle. To this day, the gun is mounted on a plaque at the police department as a memorial to Officer Philbrick.

Officer Philbrick had served with the agency for 2 years. He was survived by his wife and two daughters.

I never knew my Uncle Norman, but knew little of the story of his death. I recently visited Auburn, ME and was given a tour of the Police Station and met a new members of the Auburn Police Force. To know that my Uncle gave so much and that his memory is honored the way in which it is was very overwhelming to me. I wish my Mother could see it, I will be at the re-dedication in May of 2012.

Thank you Auburn Police
