The first fire vehicle was a private truck with a 200 gallon water tank, a Finsberry pump and a valve 2-way radio. In the 1960's the Brigade purchased a 1942 Chev 'Biltz' unit from the N.S.W. Forestry Department at Bateman's Bay for 300 pounds. This unit had served as a decontamination unit in World War 2., it has been restored and retained for promotional and heritage use.
In 1988 the Brigade split into two , these were the Williamsdale Bush Fire Brigade (N.S.W.) and the Guises Creek Volunteer Bushfire Brigade (A.C.T.).
Guises Creek Brigades' catchment area lies on the eastern side of the Tuggeranong Valley; it is made up of 15 rural leases, the Murrumbidgee River Corridor and the Rob Roy Range Nature Park.
On June 18 1994, theGuises Creek Fire Shed was officially opened by the A.C.T. Minister for Urban Services, Mr David Lamont MLA; It was handed over to the Brigades' President Mr Tony Morrison and its Captain Mr Clyde Hunt.
