RANDOLPH, Mass. — Three people escaped from their house following an early morning Monday fire in Randolph. The fire resulted in one of the residents being hospitalized.
The Randolph Fire Chief Richard Donovan told Boston 25 News crews were alerted to a fire at the rear of a house on Warren Street at approximately 3:30 a.m.

When firefighters arrived at the scene, they saw that fire started in the back before traveling up to the second and third floors of the house. Crews began to chase the fire through voids, empty spaces in the building, which was a labor-intensive search for pockets of fire.
Before crews arrived, smoke alarms in the house were able to alert the residents inside. Crews will continue to be at the scene for a couple more hours, authorities say.
