Notes

This unit was first mentioned in the 1952/53 Annual report.

The Unit was upgraded from Volunteer to Retained on completion of the new station in 1980, the station was opened in 1981.

Jack Fraser was the Volunteer Leader then became the Sub Officer when the unit became retained.

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

Broadford had a call sign of B11 in The Highlands and Islands Fire and Rescue Service, this was changed to T29, the new National Call Sign, when the Control at Inverness closed on 6/12/2016 and moved to Dundee.

The official opening of the station was in May 1981.
