On Monday evening units were dispatched to Route 95 North for a vehicle fire. On arrival, crews found a single vehicle with a small fire in the engine compartment. The fire was quickly extinguished without incident or injuries.
Yesterday, the kindergarten class from Joshua Eaton walked with Lieutenant Buckley to Fire Station 2 on Woburn Street. Once at the station the students visited with the crew, toured the station and its equipment!
We are happy to share that we are adding the McGRATH Video Laryngoscopes to all of our apparatus. This device will assist our paramedics by optimizing their first-attempt intubation success and potentially minimize the time required to secure an airway.
Following a recent incident that required a low-angle rope system, several groups have been reviewing their low-angle rope rescue equipment and procedures.
Yesterday the 2nd grade class of Killam Elementary participated in their annual tour of the town buildings. The tour includes visits to the library, police station, town hall and ends with lunch at Fire Headquarters! The crews enjoyed meeting and interacting with the students!
This past Thursday, Local 1640 members, both active and retired joined up at the Hillview Golf Course in North Reading for our biannual golf outing. None of our members will be leaving for the pro tour just yet but everyone still had a great day!
May was a busy month with a slight increase in call volume. Here are the run totals!
This morning, several members of the Reading Fire Local 1640 joined hundreds of other Firefighters to attend the funeral services of Boston Firefighter Robert Kilduff. Firefighter Kilduff was killed in the line of duty during a 3 alarm fire, on the evening of May 23, 2026.
Firefighters from all of the surrounding communities, including Reading have been busy this morning responding to weather related incidents such as trees and wires down. If you encounter a downed wire, keep away, assume it is live and dial 911 for assistance.
Join us in congratulating Lieutenant’s Buckley and Smith for completing the Run to Remember Half Marathon in Boston yesterday. Run to Remember is an annual Memorial Day Weekend Race that honors fallen First Responders and Law Enforcement officers. It is rumored Buckley beat Smith
Please join us in extending thoughts and sympathy to the members of the Boston Fire Department, as well as friends and family of Firefighter Robert Kilduff. Boston Firefighter Robert T. Kilduff was killed in the line of duty, May 23, 2026, while working at a 3 alarm fire.
Pictured here are Reading’s 4 DPW mechanics. Through repairs and regular vehicle maintenance, these 4 keep Reading’s Emergency Vehicles on the road, ready to respond. Please join us in thanking Michael Pontone, Justin Berrett, Eric Redard and Bob Demarco for their great work.
For the past several hours, Reading Engine 3 has been assisting Lynnfield Firefighters with a 4 alarm fire on Melody Lane. Mutual aid allows our departments to have appropriate and adequate resources at an emergency scene.
Training never stops but as the weather gets nicer, crews take the opportunity to get outside! Recently crews from group 3 drilled with their FFOPs throwing ground ladders and completing pump and master stream evolutions.
In recognition of EMS week, Boston Medflight linked up with Captain Scott Myette for one of their videos that gives a closer look at the people and partnerships behind their lifesaving work across New England! youtu.be/2uFb-ZaLqqo?si…
Last night Reading’s Police and Fire Departments held their annual badge pinning, promotions and awards. New firefighters and promoted officers received badges; members received service recognitions, meritorious and outstanding conduct awards, unit citations and lifesaving awards
It's National EMS Week! All of our apparatus carry ambulance-level advanced life support equipment, so every member of our organization is an EMS provider. Currently 45 of our 47 members are paramedics! Join us in honoring our crews and the exceptional care they deliver. #EMSWeek
Just after 8pm last night, units were dispatched to a vehicle off the road in the area of Walkers Brook Drive. Crews arrived to a vehicle 15 feet into the woods, down an embankment with 1 occupant still inside. The patient was extricated and transported to a trauma center.
Reading Fire Run Data for April 2026
