VIDEO: In the heart of Oso's fire department hangs three words: dedicated, brave, strong. These words not only reflect the spirit of the town, but also define the Harper brothers, Tim and Willy. From growing up in Oso, living their lives here, and committing to their hometown's well-being and security, these words perfectly encapsulate why the brothers are beloved in the community.
On a sunny 2014 day, as Willy did some yard work, he received a seemingly mundane call about a tarp in the middle of the road. Recalling the event, Willy said, "Didn't seem like a big call." Meanwhile, Tim was busy at a children's birthday party. Tuning into the radio amidst the chaos, he heard his brother's tone shift when on scene.
