Keywords: On Sunday 17, SHT performed an emergency fire evacuation within the tunnel. The operation was planned to guage people's reactions in an emergency situation and the effectiveness of tunnel emergency protocols. I was totally amazed at the bang of the car catching fire and the amount of smoke and fire that poured out of it. I was likewise, very impressed at the mechanisms in place in the Sydney Harbour tunnel to handle this incident, and the professionalism of the control and emergency staff throughout the procedure. I can imagine this was a very informative training excercise for all involved. On Sunday 17, SHT performed an emergency fire evacuation within the tunnel.
