Four U-Haul^® facilities are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box^® container use to residents affected by the Hawk Fire burning northwest of Reno.

The human-caused wildfire has burned more than 15,000 acres and prompted at least 42,000 evacuations, according to reports. Containment remains at 0% as of Monday. While certain areas along Interstate 80 have been deemed safe for residents to return, other families remain away from home or are preparing to leave if things worsen.

Access to self-storage units and portable storage containers is essential to communities when disasters strike. U-Haul Co. of Northern Nevada president Chris Berget said his team is ready to help anyone impacted by the wildfire who needs a secure storage solution at no cost for one month.

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

Residents seeking more information on the Company’s disaster relief program or needing to reserve a free month of storage should contact the participating store nearest them:
