U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to residents who have been displaced or impacted by a fire at The Braxton apartment complex in Palm Bay.
The fire erupted early Saturday morning, damaging at least 16 units and displacing many families.
“U-Haul is a proud member of this community, and we want to extend our thoughts and prayers to our neighbors,” said Cal Conner, U-Haul Company of Eastern Florida president. “Homes have been affected and we want to be able to give solace to people looking for a secure place to store their belongings.”
