Mr Bostic says he did not have his phone with him and could not call 911 so he ran to the backdoor and headed upstairs before getting some of the youngsters out. When they told him that the six-year-old was still inside, he headed back into the blaze and despite thick smoke found her.
He then punched out a window so they could escape to safety Mr Bostic was hospitalised for severe smoke inhalation and a serious cut to his arm, police said.

Thank GOD he reacted as he did many sadly would not. Most drivers would be more worried about Delivering the pizza on time.
