Pocket Fire: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Storage to Oak Creek Canyon Evacuees

Jun 22, 2026

U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container use to residents displaced by the Pocket Fire, which has prompted evacuations along State Road 89A near Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona.

U-Haul is ready to help anyone affected by the wildfire who needs a secure storage solution at no cost for one month.Share

The fire has forced the closure of SR-89A, with evacuations remaining in effect for residents and visitors in the Oak Creek Canyon area as crews continue to battle the blaze, which has burned hundreds of acres.

Access to self-storage units and portable storage containers is vital to communities when disasters strike. U-Haul is ready to help anyone affected by the wildfire who needs a secure storage solution at no cost for one month.

The 30 days free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box rentals and is based on availability. The U-Box offer is for on-site storage at Company facilities; delivery is available for a modest fee.

Stop by or call either of the two participating facilities to take advantage of the disaster relief program and arrange 30 days of free storage.
