ICE at Cologne/Bonn Airport catches fire

The train station at Cologne/Bonn Airport was closed on Thursday evening due to a fire. According to the Cologne fire brigade, a control cabinet caught fire in an ICE. The smoke spread very quickly. "The train was cleared in time," said a spokesman for the German Press Agency. One person suffered mild smoke poisoning – it was initially unclear whether it was a traveller.

According to the fire department, the alarm was called around 7 p.m. "The lifting of the blocking is not yet foreseeable," said a railway spokeswoman in Berlin about three hours later.

"Flight operations are not affected in any way," said a spokesman for the airport on request. The train station is in the immediate vicinity of the airport. According to the Cologne fire brigade, around 60 people were deployed, including the airport fire brigade and the federal police. The “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger” reported first.
