This is despite concerns of staff shortages and talk of relocating the station's HAZMAT tanker earlier this year.
In a document seen by the Southern Highland News, staff feared the station's HAZMAT tanker would be moved to Gundagai to assist with the Snowy 2.0 project and highway incidents.
The document also highlighted staffing shortages at the station.
One firefighter had transferred to another station, while others had taken leave and reduced their availability in the same period of time.
It is understood recruitment delays had also impacted the staffing levels of the station.
Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) Bowral leading firefighter Ross Webster said there "hasn't been any staff shortages".
"We've had retained firefighters that haven't been available but the station at all times has been fully manned," Mr Webster said.
Fire Brigade Employees Union (FBEU) state secretary Leighton Drury said retained stations "should have enough firefighters to cover the appliances so that they can protect their communities".
Mr Drury said Bowral Fire Station managed any staff shortages "with spare on and off duty firefighters".
Meanwhile the state secretary said "the FBEU is not aware of the HAZMAT being removed from Bowral and would be concerned if there were plans to".
"It services the Southern Highlands well and if a HAZMAT resource is needed to service another area then it should be additional," he said.
Mr Webster said "there are no plans to move the HAZMAT tanker from Bowral station".
FRNSW has the authority to attend, combat and render safe any land-based or inland waterway spillage of hazardous materials within the state.
All fire stations are equipped with trained personnel and resources for dealing with hazmat incidents, according to the FRNSW website.
Each fire station receives hazardous materials awareness training and equipment to combat minor spills of hydrocarbons, gas leaks and emergency decontamination procedures.
