One of its most notable calls to action was during the Black Christmas bushfires. The Black Christmas were bushfires that burnt for almost three weeks from 24 December 2001 across New South Wales, being the longest continuous bushfire emergency in state history. More than 170 firefighters worked for several days to protect the tiny township of Mount Riverview as it was encircled by bushfires . The brigade also supplied several crews and specialist equipment to assist during the 2003 Canberra bushfires which caused damage to the outskirts of Canberra, the Australian capital city.

The brigade is a participant in the New South Wales Rural Fire Service FireWise program. The brigade has two fire fighting appliances as well as a personnel carrier. Its heaviest vehicle is known as 'Riverview 1', and is a Category 1 (Cat 1) tanker. It falls in the 'heavy appliance' category and is capable of holding 3300 litres of water. The brigade also has a secondary appliance called 'Riverview 7' which is a dual cab Category 7 tanker, and a personnel carrier (callsign 'Riverview PC') which is capable of carrying up to 10 individuals including driver. It also maintains an 'air base operations support trailer' to assist with establishing and running air base operations during operations requiring helicopter support.

Several brigade members are specially trained members that form part of the Remote Area Firefighting Team (RAFT) program and are able to deploy at a moments notice across the state.
