Park Fire: U Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self Storage to Victims

CHICO, Calif. (July 26, 2024) - U-Haul® is providing 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage at four stores in northern California to residents impacted by the Park Fire.

Park Fire has destroyed over 164,000 acres and 130 structures in northern California making it the largest wildfire to break out in the West this summer. Residents of Butte and Sutter County have been issued a Red Flag Warning and advised to standby for evacuation orders.

Access to dry and secure self-storage units and portable storage containers is crucial for communities during the recovery process.

"As a caring and active member of this community, U-Haul wants to make sure our neighbors have a safe place to store their belongings," stated Chris Watson, U-Haul Co. of Northeast California president. "It's difficult to be displaced and not know where to store belongings that you were able to get out of your house while being evacuated. Our teams are able to help anyone in need."

The 30-day free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box rentals and is based on availability. The U-Box offer applies to on-site rentals and does not include pick-up or delivery fees.
