Vehicle Catches Fire at Napa Apartment Complex Early Monday Morning
The cause is currently under investigation.
Three Napa City Fire Department engines were originally dispatched to initial reports of a house fire at 3400 Baxter Ave. and Trancas Street at 6:40 a.m. Monday morning that ended up being a lone vehicle on fire in an apartment complex parking lot.
“Three engines initially were sent because it went out as a house fire but it ended up being a car fire,” Napa Fire Battalion Chief Dan Hall said.
A news tip said Napa Fire and CalFire units responded to a report of a structure fire at the CVS Store on Trancas, and that the vehicle on fire was a Chevrolet Avalanche.
