The fire broke out in a garage of an apartment block on Route de Thionville. By the time the fire brigade arrived, the flames had spread to the apartment above the garage.
Fire fighters evacuated one person who was still inside a flat on the top floor of the building.
The Hesperange fire brigade confirmed that a number of residents living in the building will have to temporarily relocate, as their accommodation is no long in a liveable condition following damage from the fire.
24 fire fighters from Hesperange were at the scene to extinguish the blaze, assisted by eleven fire fighters from Luxembourg City. All in all, the firefighters managed to extinguish the flames relatively quickly.
Photos show the significant damage the blaze had on the building. The cause of the fire is not yet known. The police is seeking a specific witness: a man in his mid-forties and 1.90 metres tall may have seen something relating to the fire's cause. He was in a black car and should get in touch with Luxembourg City's police station.
Aside from the fire, the CGDIS bulletin also reported that a motorist drove into a ditch on Route d'Esch in Kayl.
There were no injuries resulting from this incident.
