The unit was established in August 1990 and has had several severe thunderstorms in the Shire of Mundaring, including in 1994 when teams had to work for more than a week straight and again in 2011, for three days straight.

Members have attended incidents as far north as Kalumburu following cyclones, cyclone-damaged areas in Exmouth in 1999, fires in the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria in 2000 and cyclone damage in Karatha in 2011.
