EPCOT tunnel??? I can't place where this is in EPCOT.

I'm assuming he means the utilidors under future world?

There are no utilidors below EPCOT. According to another site, the fire was somewhere in the vicinity of the Fountains of the Nations/ Club Cool area. So I'm thinking the OP meant the Breezeway to the Land.

Yes, there are utilidors below EPCOT...specifically under Future World...I've been through them

Smaller utilidor systems are built under the central section of Epcot's Future World, primarily beneath "Spaceship Earth" and "Innoventions,"

This couldn't have been much--otherwise it would have been all over the news by now.

Probably just some cast members grilling up some hotdogs in the utilidors.

As a seasonal CM at Epcot, I have walked the length of Epcot’s Utilidor several times, even ridden through on a Segway! Inside it looks just like MK’s, although it’s basically one hallway with a small branch off under Electric Umbrella. The general shape of the whole thing most cloesly resembles the meteorological symbol for a hurricane, with a long curving arm, then a short straight section at a 90 degree angle, followed by another curving arm that’s a mirror reflection in shape of the first curved section. The easiest and most obvious access is from the ground level backstage between Guest Relations and the backside of Universe of Energy where the tunnel slopes up to a wide opening at ground level. (check this out on Google Earth, very easy to see) Just like MK, there are various stairwells that go up to the main park level for kitchens and shops, etc…
