Nicholas Bostic saved five kids from a Lafayette, Indiana fire, the police department said. A body camera caught part of the rescue.
LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- An Indiana police department is praising a "heroic" 25-year-old good Samaritan who rescued five children from a massive house fire.
Nicholas Bostic saved an 18-year-old who was home with her siblings, ages 1, 6 and 13, Lafayette Police Lt. Randy Sherer said. Bostic also rescued a friend of the 13-year-old who was there spending the night, Sherer said. The siblings' parents weren't home, Sherer said.
The blaze broke out around 12:30 a.m. Monday, Sherer said. Bostic was driving by when he spotted the house fully engulfed in flames and pulled over, he told ABC News, beating first responders to the scene.
Bostic didn't have his phone to call 911, so he ran to the back of the house to see if he could spot anyone, he said.
