Pizza Delivery Man Runs Into Burning House And Saves Four Kids As Police Captured Moment On Bodycam

Heroes don't necessarily sport capes; sometimes, they're just wearing a regular pizza delivery uniform.

Honestly, when you picture a hero, your mind doesn’t usually jump to the pizza delivery guy—well, maybe except for Spider-Man.

Yet, it turns out one individual may share more similarities with this superhero than you’d think.

Nick Bostic, a pizza delivery driver, was out for a drive trying to cool off after a fight with his girlfriend, when he found himself in a situation where he saved multiple lives on one fateful night in July 2022.

While driving through Lafayette, Indiana, Bostic heroically rescued four children and a woman from a blazing house.

In an incredible act of bravery, he leaped from a second-story window holding a 6-year-old girl in his arms.

ABC 13 reported his words: "It was adrenaline. I hightailed my butt into the house."

Remarkably, police captured Bostic’s heroic actions on their bodycam, with the footage surfacing on social media once again after it was posted on X on May 15.

In the footage, you can hear Bostic anxiously asking, "Is the baby OK? Please tell me the baby's OK," until he’s reassured that they are safe.

Bostic managed to save three siblings, aged 1, 6, and 13, along with a 13-year-old friend of theirs.

Their 18-year-old sister, Seionna, was looking after them and had to shockingly inform her parents about the incident.

Seionna recalled noticing the fire in the living room and immediately ran upstairs to fetch her youngest sister.

She mentioned that as they were heading downstairs, they encountered Bostic who assisted them outside before he dashed back into the smoke-filled home to rescue her sister, Kaylani.

"I took a deep breath, and I ran [downstairs] and I grabbed Kaylani. I used my ears to help find her," recounted Bostic.

That night, the children’s parents, David and Tiera Barrett, were out enjoying a date night when Seionna's call brought them rushing back in disbelief.

David shared with ABC 13, "I remember pulling up to the house and running up and all Seionna could say was, 'I can't find Kaylani.'"

"Then the officers said, 'She's in the ambulance,' and then they told me about Nick and what he had done. I started crying more.

"One of the most awful feelings to have is that I wasn't there. Kaylani said, 'Daddy I was looking for you.'

"On our wall, in our living room, it was completely burnt down. The only thing that was left was [a sign that read] 'love,' and that's all I feel from everyone." 

After the ordeal, Bostic was treated for smoke inhalation, an arm injury, and other wounds, and was released from the hospital two days later.

Despite his injuries, Bostic maintained a hero's spirit, affirming that the injuries were 'all worth it'.

In recognition of his bravery, he was honored with the Carnegie Medal last year, an award given to individuals who face great danger to save others.
