Emergency services were called out to three separate house fires in Herborn, Ettelbruck and Differdange on Tuesday evening and into the night.

The first fire broke out shortly after 7pm in the Al Schmedt street in Herborn. Fire and rescue teams from Consdorf, Manternach, Mertert, Osweiler, and Echternach were all dispatched to the scene.

At 2.18am, a second house fire was reported in the Rue Guillaume in Ettelbruck. This incident required a larger emergency response, with crews from the Nordstad, Colmar, Ingeldorf, Mersch, Bissen, and Junglinster fire stations in attendance.

The emergency medical service (SAMU) from the Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg (CHL), the Technical Support Group (GATO), and the Operations Management Centre (CGO) were also on site.

According to information provided on request, one person suffered serious injuries, was rescued from the building by firefighters and then treated by the SAMU team.

Residents in the area received a warning text. As of 6.30am on Wednesday morning, the fire was under control but had not yet been fully extinguished.

Shortly before 3am, another house caught fire, this time in Avenue Charlotte in Differdange. Here too, a warning text was sent to area residents.
