| Fire ravaged a beach house occupied by more than a dozen people, most of them college students, killing seven and sending several more to a hospital, authorities said.
Six survivors were released after treatment, Mayor Debbie Smith said. One had jumped from the burning house and into a waterway.
Officials had accounted for everyone believed to be inside the home, Smith said.
''There were three kids sitting on the ground screaming,'' said newspaper deliverer Tim Burns, who called the emergency dispatcher after seeing a column of smoke rising from the house. ''There was one guy hanging out the window, and he jumped in the canal. I know he got out because he was yelling for a girl to follow him.''
Burns said he didn't know whether that girl was able to escape.
Most of the people inside the house were students at the University of South Carolina, although Smith said one may have attended Clemson University.
The house was being used by the owner's daughter and a group of her friends, the mayor said.
