Ladder trucks from Napa and Yountville were called to downtown Napa Friday morning for an upper-story fire at the Fagiani building, home to The Thomas and Fagiani's at The Thomas. A spokeswoman said the restaurant was able to reopen for dinner.
Just after 8 a.m. Friday, the Napa City Fire Department and the ladder truck from CalFire in Yountville responded to a report of a fire in the downtown Napa building still known to many Napans as Fagiani's at 813 Main St., now home to The Thomas restaurant and Fagiani's at The Thomas bar.
Firefighters found a pot of oil on fire on the second floor of the restaurant and put it out with a fire extinguisher.
The fire was contained to the stove and Napa Fire Dept. Battalion Chief Dan Hall said that the restaurant should be able to open later Friday.
