Jul 2, 2018

Disaster Relief for Victims of Pawnee Fire, County Fire

U-Haul Company of Northwest California and U-Haul Company of West Sacramento are offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents who have been or will be impacted by the fires in Lake County, and the County Fire on the hills east of Lake Berryessa.

“The Pawnee Fire has been raging for a week,” said Chris Watson, U-Haul Company of Northwest California president. “Another fire erupted on Saturday afternoon and has already burned more than 32,000 acres.”

The California fires have created a need for assistance, particularly for evacuees to stow their valuables and other belongings in a secure facility.

“Many of our neighbors have been put in harm’s way and are in need of help. We want to provide them a place to keep their possessions at no charge for 30 days,” stated Chris Trudell, U-Haul Company of West Sacramento president.
