BBC NEWS | England | Lorry fire closes Channel Tunnel

Aug222006

And this is why Operation Stack came into play

The operator Eurotunnel said it suspended rail services on Monday afternoon when a fire alarm went off.

Lorry drivers were taken off the train in the north-running tunnel. A fire was put out about 7.5 miles (12km) from Folkestone. No-one was hurt.
