The circumstances surrounding three Cambridge fires on Sunday night are under investigation by the office of the State Fire Marshal.
According to Cambridge deputy fire chief Daniel J. Reagan, Massachusetts law requires the Marshal's office to investigate three types of fires: those of suspicious origin, of undetermined cause, and those which involve a violation of law. Reagan estimated that last year the Fire Marshal looked into the circumstances of five to ten per cent of Boston's fires.
