Weekend fires kill two college students Students from John Carroll University and Ohio University, both of whom were nearing graduation, died in off-campus house fires over the weekend. Mr. Mansmann was scheduled to graduate from John Carroll on Sunday. Four other people in the house and a firefighter were injured, said Kevin Mohr, assistant fire chief in the Cleveland suburb. After a party at the house Friday night, one of the residents noticed a couch on fire about 6 a.m. Saturday and ran up a stairway to alert others, but fire and smoke trapped the residents on the second and third floors, Mr. Mohr said. Investigators aren't sure what caused the fire.
