There have been several fires in vehicles being transported through the Channel Tunnel since its opening in 1994. As of 2022 [update] all were caused by lorries carried on the heavy goods vehicle shuttle trains. As the safety measures in such cases mostly work as intended, nobody has thus far died as a result of any of those fires.
