The rather smaller extinguishing district is strongly characterized by commercially used areas and, with parts of the Südring, a piece of the Ostwestfalendamm (city motorway) and the motorway section of the BAB 33 between Brackwede and the Senne exit (Buschkampstraße), as well as between the Brackwede driveway and Steinhagen exit, offers a great deal high volume of traffic and goods.

One of the four former emergency vehicles (a DL 18 from 1959) was maintained for many years by the comrades with a lot of love and care. Since it was still technically flawless, it even went out on missions. Some operations could even be handled better with it than with a new DLK 23/12, since narrow backyards and small installation areas were no problem either. Because the DL 18 for the management of the professional fire brigade no longer fit into the image of a modern and technically powerful fire brigade, the now 50-year-old vehicle was retired in 2009 and acquired by the local classic car club. Another highlight of the Quelle fire fighting department is the 20 meter high hose tower. Until the early 1970s, hose maintenance for the entire old district of Bielefeld was housed here. During weddings, up to 23 km of hose material hung in the tower to dry and around 700 hoses were stored. Today the Queller only clean their own hoses, the remaining 28 departments exchange their hoses at the professional fire brigade on the town wood. However, this landmark in Quelle will sooner or later disappear, as space has to be created for a more modern fire station, as a TLF had to be reduced in size as early as 1996, especially for the vehicle hall, as it no longer meets the requirements with a height of a good 3 m who provide the new fire engines. Vehicles: TLF 16/25, LF 20 KatS, MTF
