Saving a life is one of the most supreme acts of generosity. And, saving many lives at once is a heroic act, something that we marvel at when our caped-heroes rescue cities and people from impending perils.

Bostic, a pizza delivery driver from Lafayette, suffered injuries and severe smoke inhalation following his act of bravery. He noticed the flames while he was driving by the house at around midnight.


Bostic told the authorities that he ran into the house through the backdoor immediately. His repeated yells woke up the children who were sleeping on the first floor and later he helped them out of the burning house.
The authorities at Lafayette Police Department (LPD) confirmed that during the fire, Bostic had also jumped out of the window clutching a six-year-old in his hands. The child, according to the LPD was "miraculously mostly uninjured."
