PS Automation actuators functioned properly!

London. On January 17th, 2015 there was a fire in the Eurotunnel between Great Britain and France, caused by a burning truck on a freight train. After the train stopped at a security stop, the fire-fighting system was activated and extinguished the fire immediately. All of the 42 passengers were rescued unharmed. However, the fire caused a traffic jam on both sides of the Eurotunnel. Around 400 trains are passing the Eurotunnel each day. Annually, around 1.5 million trucks are transported through the tunnel.
