Notes
1997/98 Auxiliary garage built.
2002/2003 Unit upgraded to BA status.
With the new brigade structure introduced in the summer of 2003 the 3 Divisions were re-organised into 2 Commands North and South, Scalpay was put into South Command. Call signs remained the same.
On 1st April 2005 along with 61 other units Scalpay was upgraded to a Retained Unit, drilling one night per week and receiving a retaining fee.
Scalpay had a call sign of B30 in The Highlands and Islands Fire and Rescue Service, this was changed to U27, the new National Call Sign, when the Control at Inverness closed on 6/12/2016 and moved to Dundee.
