Station Officers were in charge of retained stations until 1975 when the new Central Region Fire Brigade decided they didn’t want Retained Station Officers and all new Officers in Charge had the rank of Sub Officer. Existing Station Officers retained the rank until they retired.

On Monday the 9th of July 2007 Larbert became the fifth wholetime station in the brigade as a 1 Pump wholetime and 2 Pump retained station when a wholetime pump and crew was moved from Falkirk.
