In harrowing news, a Lafayette, Indiana pizza delivery driver saved five children from a burning house sometime after midnight last week while he just happened to be driving down the street. Nicholas Bostic saw the flames engulfing the home with no firetrucks in sight, so he took matters into his own hands and rushed inside. He yelled into the smoke and flames to see if anyone was inside.
Bostic walked through the house after getting no response, feeling like there were people there. He found four kids asleep upstairs, ranging in age from one to eighteen. Bostic woke the children and hurried them outside, but then the kids told him there was one left inside, a six-year-old.
He went back into the burning house, searching everywhere for the missing child. He found the six-year-old in a downstairs area of the house. Once he grabbed the child, he couldn’t see the door because of the smoke, so he ran upstairs and jumped from the second-story window.
Miraculously, the child was unharmed, as Bostic shielded her with his body during the fall. Bostic, however, was flown to the hospital to be treated. According to officials, he suffered severe smoke inhalation and badly cut his arm. Bostic’s cousin created a GoFundMe campaign for his medical bills, and so far has raised over $200,000. Hats off to Nicholas Bostic for his incredible risk and amazing deed. Five children are alive now because he just happened to be driving that street.
