CTRL fire systems
There is no fire fighting train for the channel tunnel, but there are special fire fighting road vehicles which use the road access service tunnels.
They are double cabbed road veicles so can be driven from either end., both the French and the English have them, the UK ones are manned by the Kent fire and Rescue service.
They had to be employed when a lorry caught fire in 1996, when a train using running tunnel north was stopped in the tunnel.
