The initiative is part of U-Haul's Disaster Relief program and is available at seven locations in the affected areas.

The Canyon Fire, which has charred approximately 5,000 acres as of Friday morning, has led to evacuation orders for thousands of residents across parts of Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. Communities near the fire, including Castaic, are among those affected. U-Haul's free storage offer aims to provide access to dry and secure storage spaces for those who need to prioritize safety and leave their homes.

Ashley Fish, president of the U-Haul Company of San Fernando Valley, stated, "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."

The 30-day free offer is available for 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. Those seeking more information on the U-Haul Disaster Relief program or needing to arrange storage should contact the nearest participating locations.

In addition to its disaster relief program, U-Haul is proud to be an official American Red Cross Disaster Responder.
