He pulled into the driveway, intending to call 911, only to realize he\u2019d left his phone at home. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/lifestyle\/2022\/07\/19\/nicholas-bostic-rescue-kids-fire\/\">Washington Post<\/a>, he ran to the back of the house, found an unlocked door, and raced inside.<\/p>\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\">\u201cI shouted, \u2018Anybody here? Get out! Get out! Fire!\u2019\u201d Bostic said in an interview from the hospital, where he is slowly recuperating.<\/p>\n<p>No one responded, but as he prepared to leave, he spied a teenager with some children at the top of the stairs. It was Seionna Barrett, 18, who was babysitting her three siblings and her sister\u2019s friend while their parents were out on a date.<\/p>\n<p>Bostic shepherded them outside, but then Seionna told him \u201cBaby K,\u201d the family\u2019s nickname for six-year-old Kaylani, was still inside. He went back into the burning home and searched, despite acrid smoke and searing heat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI ran inside and looked under beds and closets, but I couldn\u2019t find her,\u201d he told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/lifestyle\/2022\/07\/19\/nicholas-bostic-rescue-kids-fire\/\">Washington Post<\/a>. \u201cBut when I got to the stairs that led downstairs, I heard some faint crying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\">Bostic felt through the darkness, following the cries until he found Kaylani and scooped her up. But they were trapped by the flames.<\/p>\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\">\u201cIt was extremely hot and smoky, and it was painful to breathe,\u201d he said. \u201cThe only light I could see was coming from the rooms upstairs. So I headed up there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\">He broke open a window with his right fist, tightly wrapped the girl around his left side, and leaped two stories to the ground, landing on his right side, sparing the girl from the force of his fall, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis selflessness during this incident is inspiring,\u201d Lt. Randy Sherer of the Lafayette Police Department told the Post. \u201cHe went down those stairs to save that little girl when he thought it was impossible just moments before. He knew he was risking his life. There\u2019s only one way to define that: courageous and heroic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\">Bostic sustained first-degree burns on his buttocks, right ankle, and right arm. But he saved Seionna; Shaylee, 13; Kaylani, Kaleia, 1, and Shaylee\u2019s friend, Livian Knifley, 13.<\/p>\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\">Inspired donors heaped praise on Bostic, who delivers pizzas for a local Papa John\u2019s franchise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis world needs more people like you,\u201d wrote Ashley Bajerski. \u201cThank you for saving those young children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are an inspiration for everyone!\u201d wrote Eduardo Perez-Tobon<strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cWishing you a speedy recovery!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donations are pouring into a GoFundMe page set up for an Indiana pizza man who twice ran into a burning house last week to save five people, including a child with whom he jumped out of a second-story window.
