There are still 125 active wildfires burning across Florida. Residents in the line of the fires have been asked to take precautions.

“This has been one of the worst wildfire seasons in years,” said Rod Baldwin, U-Haul Company of Orlando president. “Central Florida is currently experiencing some dramatic fires and residents are being displaced.

With U-Box containers, you can conveniently pick up our custom-designed trailer and take your U-Box with you. U-Haul also can store your U-Box container in our secure warehouses or pick up and deliver it to a location of your choice.

U-Haul stores offer needed supplies to help with recovery like boxes, tarps, propane and propane tanks. U-Haul urges customers to ensure their tanks are topped off since propane is good to have in the event of long-term power outages.
