2000/2001 unit upgraded. Upgrades to units involves equipping them with Breathing Apparatus, Firefighting Uniforms, Road Traffic Accident Rescue Equipment, Pagers and Fire Engines appropriate to the needs of the local area.
With the new brigade structure introduced in the summer of 2003 the 3 Divisions were re-organised into 2 Commands North and South, Aultbea was put into North Command. Call signs remained the same.
On 1st April 2005 along with 61 other units Aultbea was upgraded to a Retained Unit, drilling one night per week and receiving a retaining fee.
