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, Bunessan was changed from L63 to E77.

Following representations received from Mull District Council as to the adequacy of the Fire Fighting Services at Bunessan, Mull, the Firemaster had made a survey of Bunessan district and also of the Island of Iona as to the position in this respect and, in consequence of his report, the Western Fire Area Joint Committee propose (a) to increase the establishment of equipment at Bunessan by one additional pump appliance, and (b) to establish a volunteer unit of 7 volunteer firemen and one two-man manual pump appliance on the Island of Iona. The cost of the proposals will be £160 and will be borne entirely by Argyll County Council. The proposals require an amendment to the Western Fire Area Administration Scheme Order

New truck for Mull

Bunessan on the Isle of Mull is to get a new appliance soon which is just a little bit out of the ordinary.
It is a flat backed truck which has been in use at F Division HQ for the past year and has now been converted by the workshops to a small appliance carrying a crew of five.
The new machine will replace a Land Rover which will be going to Hamilton HQ in the meantime.

Bunessan Get New Appliance

On the 18th June, 1987 the Volunteer Unit at F63 Bunessan took delivery of their new V.S.U. (Volunteer Support Unit).
This appliance replaced the flat bed lorry that had been at the unit for six years.
Our picture shows the crew at Bunessan outside the unit with both appliances, along with Station Officer K. Munro their District Officer and the two fitters from Brigade Workshops in Glasgow. (SGB356W and D329LCS)
