He found four children who told him that the six-year-old was inside the house.
He did not think twice and went back into the bedroom to search for the children. He saw the little one crying downstairs.
The pizza delivery guy wrapped his shirt around his mouth and nose to avoid inhaling smoke. He punched a window and jumped to the ground.
