Radovan has the following base ability:
Once per turn, when a character at your location is dealt damage by a bane, display a monster from the box next to a displayed devil form.
He also has a devil form ability that looks like this:
Once per turn, when you encounter a bane that invokes the Fire trait or when you are dealt Fire damage, you may display a monster from the box next to this card.
So if I am dealt 2 fire damage by a monster (one that doesn't have the Fire trait), both abilities trigger - right? (damage for base ability, plus fire damage for devil ability) And I end up displaying two monsters by my devil form?
Right.
(I don't know why you specify "a monster (one that doesn't have the Fire trait)" - it would work with ANY monster that deal you Fire damage; just as it would work with ANY damage dealt by a monster with the Fire trait encountered by you.)

I forgot that dealing fire damage (regardless of whether the bane has the fire trait) is part of the definition of a bane invoking the fire trait.
So actually my example is incorrect. I would have displayed a monster upon first encountering the bane, then again (later) after taking damage.
More specifically:
I encounter a monster that invokes the fire trait, so I display a monster beside my devil form. [devil form ability]
When that monster deals fire damage to me (later), I again display a monster beside my devil form. [base ability]
What's important, in terms of timing, is that I can banish the first displayed monster to boost my attacks against the bane - the one that caused me to display the monster in the first place.
Yep, Radovan likes being set on fire.
Well, not _likes_. And not really Radovan, more Norge. But, hey, what's a pitborn to do?
