Emergency Numbers in Luxembourg: 112, 113 and What to Do in an Emergency
In Luxembourg, dial 112 for fire, ambulance and medical emergencies (run by the CGDIS) and 113 for the police. Both are free and answered 24/7, and 112 works anywhere in the EU. For non-urgent police matters call 244 244 244. Out-of-hours care goes through the médecin de garde (Maison Médicale, 20 333 111) and the pharmacie de garde. For poisoning, call the free 8002-5500. Give the operator your exact location and what happened.

The party says the pilot has reached its administrative limits after five years and that the roughly 2.3 million euros a year it would cost is already in budget projections.
