Alden Robbins Remembered in Tragedy | Bangor News

Alden Robbins, co-owner of Robbins Lumber, died from injuries sustained in a catastrophic silo explosion at the company’s mill on May 15th — one of Maine’s deadliest industrial accidents in recent memory. The blast, fueled by dust ignition, injured a dozen people, including Alden, his brother Jim, and daughter Lily. Two first responders — firefighter Andrew Cross and Fire Chief Wayne Woodbury — also perished in the tragedy. As the community mourns, Katherine Paige, another firefighter severely burned, has been discharged. The Robbins family, overwhelmed by grief, thanks medical teams and asks for privacy as they begin their healing journey.
