Ohio fifth grader Jeffrey Radcliffe says a heavenly voice told him what to do when he was trapped in his burning home.<\/p>\n

Facing a wall of flames and a collapsed stairs, he had to jump out of his second-story window. That’s exactly what he did, injuring three vertebrae in his back.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In severe pain, he began banging on his parents’ bedroom window — awakening them, prompting them to flee the fire and saving their lives, according to the Norwalk Reflector<\/a><\/em> newspaper.<\/p>\n

He says he doesn’t know who it was guiding him to jump, but the voice urged him repeatedly. He’s hospitalized — but his family is safe … and won’t leave his side.<\/p>\n

He’ll be in a back brace for six weeks, the doctors say.<\/p>\n
