On Thursday 16 July 2026, the Grand Ducal Fire and Rescue Corps (CGDIS) presented its 2025 annual report during a press conference held at the National Fire and Rescue Centre (CNIS).

According to the report, the CGDIS carried out 75,814 interventions in 2025, an increase of 5% compared with 71,965 in 2024. Personal rescue accounted for 68,042 interventions, while firefighters also responded to 2,665 fires, 2,056 road traffic accidents and 10,507 SAMU missions. The 112 Emergency Rescue Centre handled 258,036 emergency calls during the year. 

Chair of the CGDIS Board of Directors Alain Becker described 2025 as another year demonstrating the vital role of Luxembourg's emergency services. "Day after day, our volunteer and professional firefighters, together with our administrative and technical staff, make an essential contribution to the safety and wellbeing of the population, often under very demanding conditions," he stated. "Behind every intervention are people whose commitment, expertise and perseverance make a difference. I thank every one of them for their unwavering dedication and professionalism."

CGDIS Director General Paul Schroeder said 2025 marked "a year of consolidation and development" for the organisation. "Our ambition remains to guarantee an efficient, people-centred and exemplary emergency service," he said, adding that "recruiting and training new volunteer and professional firefighters remains essential to ensuring the continuity and quality of emergency services.”

Volunteer firefighters remained the cornerstone of the emergency services, contributing more than 3.8 million hours of duty and on-call service throughout the year.

The report also highlighted the creation of the Lëtzebuerger Jugendpompjeeën asbl, established in cooperation with the National Federation of Firefighters to strengthen youth engagement and prepare future generations for emergency service.
