There have been several fires in vehicles being transported through the Channel Tunnel since its opening in 1994. As of 2022 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.
