Firestarter

A fire in the Channel Tunnel is once of those disaster scenarios we didn’t want to see, but it looks like it all got handled pretty well.  Personally I find it quite reassuring that whatever systems they have in place worked to detect the fire, extinguish it and evacuate staff and passengers without loss of life. Again.

What is more worrying is that trucks full of phenol are carried through the tunnel, but it still turns out to be more resilient than the average pier…  what is it with piers and fires?
