Firefighters said they put out four separate couch fires in Ann Arbor following the University of Michigan's 61-56 defeat of Syracuse Saturday in a Final Four match at the NCAA tournament.

The Ann Arbor Fire Department largely declined to comment but confirmed a report in the Detroit Free Press about the fires, which happened around campus. Most occurred around midnight, and all couches were ignited in the street.

Fire Chief Chuck Hubbard said he had not seen the incident reports and could not comment.

The blazes caused no other damage or injuries, officials said.

U-M Police made no arrests Saturday night or Sunday morning despite the estimated 1,200 to 1,500 students and revelers who gathered on the Diag to celebrate Michigan's win, spokeswoman Diane Brown said. She planned to have beefed-up staffing Monday, when the Wolverines play Louisville in the National Championship game.

Ann Arbor police said they had no incidents to report.

U-M will host a viewing party for the National Championship game Monday at 7:30 at Crisler Center.
