Two Houses Damaged in North Napa Fire

Fanned by wind, the blaze seriously damaged a house on Jefferson Street and scorched a next-door residence on El Centro early Sunday morning.

A wind-whipped fire in the 4000 block of Jefferson Street had engulfed the entire side of a house by the time Napa firefighters and Calfire arrived just after 2 a.m. Sunday

The heat was so intense that it did moderate damage to the house next door in the 1400 block of El Centro Avenue.

The occupants of both houses got out safely and there were no reports of any injuries.
