New body camera video shows the efforts of a pizza delivery driver after he rescued five children from their burning home.
Nicholas Bostic, 25, was driving in Lafayette, Indiana, at about 12:30 a.m. on July 11 when he saw a home going up in flames and entered through a back door to see if anyone was inside.
Bostic woke four sleeping children between the ages of 1 and 18 years old.
“I told them to get out, and they followed me down the stairs and out the house,” Bostic told FOX12. “At the back door, I asked if there was anybody else left. They said there was a child in there.”

Bostic ran back into the house and searched for the 6-year-old girl, ultimately hearing her crying.
“He couldn’t see anything in front of him, and the heat from the fire made it seem as if he was walking into an oven,” Lafayette Police wrote in a statement. “Once he had her, he attempted to recall from memory where the back door was, but he couldn’t find it.”

Bostic ended up running back upstairs and jumped out a second-story window, sustaining several injuries including deep cuts, a possible severed tendon, blistered hands, and severe smoke inhalation.
“This temporary pain, oh yeah, it’s so worth it, it’s worth every bit,” he said.

The children’s parents were reportedly out for the evening and had left the 18-year-old in charge.
