Seventh Floor

Shortly before 1am on Tuesday morning, 112 received a report of a fire on Rue de Luxembourg in Bertrange. A flat on the seventh floor was ablaze.

Rescue teams from Luxembourg City, Bertrange, Mamer, Dippach, and Hesperange, along with the Luxembourg City emergency medical service (SAMU), were on duty at the scene. No one was injured.

Fifty people had to be relocated for the night. Some were able to stay with friends or neighbours. A few residents were still on holidays and had not yet returned.

Bertrange Mayor Youri De Smet confirmed that around 20 of the displaced residents were accommodated at the Centre Atert. They were still there on Tuesday morning, and are not expected to be able to return to their apartments until around 3 or 4pm. Firefighters and the technical police remained inside the building examining the scene and securing evidence.

Fifty people displaced, five stations responding, zero injuries. A flat gone on the seventh floor.
