In addition to the Carnegie Medal, the 25-year-old Indiana man will be awarded a financial grant for his heroism, as will the 14 other Carnegie Medal recipients announced March 27.
LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- When Nick Bostic drove past a house on fire in the early morning hours of July 11, 2022, he knew he had to act.
Bostic, after rescuing all five people from the burning home, spent three days in the hospital due to smoke inhalation, first- and second-degree burns and an arm laceration. After initial silence, Bostic went upstairs and found an 18-year-old woman with two 13-year-old girls and a 20-month-old child. After leading the four of them outside to safety, they alerted Bostic that a 6-year-old girl was still in the house.Struggling to see due to the smoke, Bostic heard the girl’s cries and followed the noise to retrieve her from a burning bedroom upstairs. He picked the girl up, punched through a window and jumped to the ground with the girl wrapped in his arms.
