Vacaville Fire Victims: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage

Aug 20, 2020

U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents being impacted by the fires near Vacaville.

The grass fire that began on Tuesday afternoon is now threatening homes and forcing residents to evacuate, creating an immediate need for secure locations where personal belongings can be stored.

“This fire is quickly burning through brush and heavy vegetation,” stated Chris Trudell, U-Haul Company of West Sacramento president. “With evacuation orders in place, we want to be good neighbors. We are in a position to help by providing our available storage units at no cost for one month.”
