On Sunday, a 51 year-old man lest his life in a fire in a house in Differdange.
 
The fire started shortly before 02:00 in the living room of the house on the rue Hussigny in the town in the south-west of the Grand Duchy. The man had been in the living room at the time while his wife had been upstairs; she became aware of smoke in the house and raised the alarm having managed to get out of the house.
 
The emergency fire services arrived at the scene and extinguished the blaze before it could spread to neighbouring buildings. A forensics examination was carried out to determine the cause of the fire.
