Notes

 

Volunteer unit set up in 1978 (Firemaster’s Annual Report).

1992 Non Mobile.

2000/2001 unit upgraded. Upgrades to units involves equipping them with Breathing Apparatus, Firefighting Uniforms, Road Traffic Accident Rescue Equipment, Pagers and Fire Engines appropriate to the needs of the local area.

With the new brigade structure introduced in the summer of 2003 the 3 Divisions were re-organised into 2 Commands North and South, Cannich was put into South Command. Call signs remained the same.

On 1st April 2005 along with 61 other units Cannich was upgraded to a Retained Unit, drilling one night per week and receiving a retaining fee.

Cannich had a call sign of A39 in The Highlands and Islands Fire and Rescue Service, this was changed to S41, the new National Call Sign, when the Control at Inverness closed on 6/12/2016 and moved to Dundee.
