Dark smoke rises above the Bickendorf district of Cologne on Friday.
Jan Böhmermann is there live – at least on Twitter.
Cologne – The fire brigade is on Friday afternoon in a fire in the Bickendorf district of Cologne.
A fire broke out there on Vogelsanger Straße, as reported by 24RHEIN.
The fire in a workshop in the district of Cologne-Ehrenfeld caused large clouds of dark smoke to be seen over the city.
Not far away is the studio of Jan Böhmermann's "ZDF Magazin Royale".
"The @Feuerwehr_Koeln saved Cologne (again)!" tweeted the moderator.
"Cologne saved again": Böhmermann says thank you because there is a fire next door

In addition, Böhmermann publishes various photos showing the dark, black cloud of smoke.
One of the pictures even shows flames.
"Hope @Feuerwehr_Koeln is informed," he writes on Twitter.
"We are," the rescuers below answer.
The Cologne fire brigade even tagged the moderator in their own tweet.
The moderator published several photos and tweets about the fire – including insights from the surrounding area.
After all, the studio is not far away.
Jan Böhmermann and Cologne – Studio in Ehrenfeld
Böhmermann keeps talking about Cologne, not just on Twitter.
The cathedral city is also a regular topic in his podcast “Fest & Flauschig”, for which he sits behind the microphone together with Olli Schulz.
In 2021, Böhmermann proposed a new coat of arms for Cologne-Ehrenfeld.
Böhmermann has also spoken out about the sometimes chaotic situation for cyclists in Cologne.
At the end of December, a video appeared on the show's YouTube channel, in which Böhmermann leads through the studio of the ZDF show - in the style of the Vogue video interviews entitled "73 Questions".
The area around the studio in Bickendorf can be seen in the opening sequences of the video.
The workshop where a fire broke out on Friday is very close by.
The "Studio Ehrenfeld" is only a few hundred meters away.
There is a fire in Cologne – very close to Böhmermann's studio
"Civil protection and disaster relief PRAXISTEST currently at @zdfmagazin Studio Ehrenfeld!" wrote Böhmermann on Friday afternoon in view of the nearby fire.
He also gives Twitter users an insight into the area around the scene of the fire or the studio.
Junkyard, workshops and shops are located there.
First episode of "Magazine Royale" with Jan Böhmermann - "Change of program"
"ZDF Magazin Royale" starts the new year on Friday evening, because that's when the first episode can be seen.
Or as Böhmermann tweets: "obviously 1 hot first show tonight".
And he also has another allusion to the show ready: "Tonight @ZDFMagazin is about civil protection and disaster relief," he announces the "program change", which is probably not meant to be taken seriously.
"Program title: Save yourself who can".
