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.

Hall said the cause is under investigation and couldn’t say whether the fire was suspicious. A damage estimate was not available.
