Later, he told the police that walking inside the house felt like "walking into an oven" but he was determined to save the six-year-old kid.In another interview with Dave Bangert, he recalled what went on inside his head while he entered the house again to save the child. He noted:"I don’t know how to explain it, but it was like I accepted I was going to probably die, right there, that night. But it was a weird calm. You just got to work as fast as you can."Nicholas Bostic also mentioned that he heard the child crying and used her voice to understand where she was actually stuck. Bostic then struggled to find the backdoor after rescuing the girl due to the rooms being filled with smoke.The Lafayette Police state that he "broke open a window by punching it with his bare hand" and saved the child heroically. The press release for the incident mentioned that the six-year-old was "miraculously mostly uninjured."Speaking to the Purdue Exponent, 13-year-old Shaylee Barrett, one of the teenagers that Nicholas saved, recalled:"For a minute I didn’t understand it, but my sister ran upstairs with the baby in her hands and yelling at us to get up because there’s a fire... And for a minute I froze and I laid there because I was confused. That’s when we went downstairs and Nick was downstairs helping us.”Bostic has been released from the hospital. He suffered a broken shoulder but is on his way to recovery.
