RENO, Nev. (Sept. 11, 2024) - The U-Haul® Company of Northern Nevada announced Wednesday that is making facilities in Reno and Sparks available to provide 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to residents fleeing the Davis Fire.
The Davis Fire began Sept. 7 and has burned 5,700 acres. It is nearing south Reno neighborhoods and has forced the evacuation of many residents in Washoe City and communities west of the Interstate 580 corridor.
Access to dry and secure self-storage and portable storage containers can be vital for residents escaping wildfires and other natural disasters.
The 30-day free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box rentals and is based on availability. People seeking more information about the U-Haul disaster relief program or needing to arrange storage services should contact the participating location nearest them:
