Notes
2000/2001 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, Uig was put into South Command. Call signs remained the same.
On 1st April 2005 along with 61 other units Uig was upgraded to a Retained Unit, drilling one night per week and receiving a retaining fee.
Uig had a call sign of B36 in The Highlands and Islands Fire and Rescue Service, this was changed to T32, the new National Call Sign, when the Control at Inverness closed on 6/12/2016 and moved to Dundee.
£1.35m was re-allocated to property for
Minor Works Development projects, the modernisation of Uig Rural Fire Station
and other projects.
