North Reading operated with a 1985 Emergency One Hurricane 1250 GPM pumper for twenty nine years. It carried 500 gallons of water.
In 2014 the town received a new Smeal pumper built on a Spartan chassis which became the new Engine 2. This apparatus has a larger pump and tank in addition to a 50 gallon foam tank.
