  The Luxembourg Rescue Services Agency (Administration des services de secours - ASS) is subordinate to the Minister of Home Affairs who assures the political and administrative authority of the ASS. The administration was established by the Act of 12 June 2004, merging the Civil Protection and the General Inspectorate of the Fire Brigades within the same integrated body. In the event of a catastrophe or disaster, the ASS leads rescue operations and reports to the Minister of Home Affairs. The ASS is responsible for implementing all the necessary measures and means, which must be taken in order to protect and supply aid to the population and to safeguard the national inheritance and other assets. The ASS is responsible for the organisation of prehospital care, rescue and transport of victims needing medical care. It also sets up or contributes to general and individual intervention plans and organises public training in first aid. The ASS manages the National School of Civil Protection (ENCP), in charge of the training rescue workers and the National Civil Protection Support Base including training with heavy intervention equipment. Finally, the ASS develops links with civil protection organisations in neighbouring countries and helps to implement plans and directives arising from the mutual assistance agreements made between Luxembourg and its three neighbouring countries: Belgium, Germany and France. The ASS is operating the national emergency number 112 and is also the contact point for all national and international emergencies. The general coordination of the intervention units (civil protection, fire brigades and medical teams) is managed by the Director of the ASS. Within the ASS, 6 regional inspectors assure the supervision of the local fire brigades and are, in case of large incidents, responsible for operations and coordination of the fire brigades.
