U-Haul announced that seven of its facilities in Southern California are available to provide 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box portable container use to evacuees and others who stand to be impacted by the Canyon Fire near Lake Piru.
Thousands of residents across parts of Ventura and Los Angeles Counties are under evacuation orders due to the blaze, which had charred about 5,000 acres as of Friday morning. Castaic is among the communities near the fire.
Access to dry and secure self-storage rooms and portable storage containers is essential to communities during and after natural disasters.
“We have several stores within a short drive of the communities being affected by the wildfire, and our teams are prepared to help anyone who needs to secure their possessions as they prioritize safety and leave their homes,” said Ashley Fish, U-Haul Company of San Fernando Valley president.
The 30 days free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box rentals and is based on availability. The U-Box portable container offer is for on-site storage at Company centers.
