A fire in Randolph that injured three people, one critically, was intentionally set, according to fire officials.

The fire at 27-29 Reed St. Monday night critically injured a man. A woman and child were less seriously injured in the fire, as well.

While the investigation is continuing, investigators said that the fire may have been another case of domestic violence.

"In 2007, there were three fatal fires that caused six deaths that were acts of domestic violence. There were many other fires that had less fatal consequences where fire was the domestic violence weapon of choice," State Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan said.
