Due to crew shortage at Colintraive in May 2017 SN61EJY was moved to Kererra.

From 1953 to 1975 there were 7 Volunteers.

SA52FYS a red Ford Ranger is the first in the Fleet not to have a badge or name, it just says Fire & Rescue on the side. This was the first vehicle in the SFR fleet not to have a badge in preparation for the new Scottish Fire Service coming into being.

Due to a lack of crew at Colintraive SN61EJY was moved to Kererra in May 2017.

When the new call signs were being implemented in the WEST SDA over a 7 week period beginning 31/8/2020 doing 1 LSO Area per week, Colintraive was changed from L73 to E61.

In 2021 Colintraive, Kererra, Salen and Isle of Seil all got new huts of the same design by Beaver Timber.
