The Dorsten main fire and rescue station on the Wehner commercial estate was ceremonially handed over to the public on 12 and 13 June 2010. A new building had become necessary because the old fire station dating from 1929 no longer complied with modern standards and could not fulfil current high technical requirements.

The new two-storey building for the main fire and rescue station in Dorsten presents itself as a stand-out, meandering building with the training tower marking the end of the configuration. The U-shaped fire station building is sub-divided into the tracts for the actual fire station and workshops. The facade has been designed with red facing bricks and grey window elements. The fire station itself comprises the vehicle sheds, changing rooms for the fire and rescue personnel, plant rooms and cleaning facilities.  

The workshop tract comprises rooms for the voluntary fire brigade, the motor vehicle workshop, the youth fire brigade as well as stores and workshops for various areas. A bridge structure at 2^nd floor level links the two buildings of the fire station and workshop. It contains the rest and staff rooms of the fire station, as well as offices. Beneath the bridge structure is a vehicle driveway to the fire brigade yard.
