No, you can’t bring down a plane with a small fire. If that was possible terrorists would use a newspaper and a lighter.

A small fire in the right place (like a wiring loom) can definitely bring down a plane, but generally attackers don't have the specialist knowledge to achieve that, and those places are not easily accessible between meal services.
