Wildfire Evacuees: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage in Oregon, Washington VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 9, 2020

VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul(r) is offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents being impacted by wildfires across the Pacific Northwest.

Strong winds and dry conditions are fueling hundreds of active fires in the area. Millions of acres have been burned and many residential areas are facing evacuation orders.

"We're facing a truly historic outbreak of wildfires in the Pacific Northwest," said Dan Flatten, U-Haul Company of Southern Washington president. "Evacuation orders are creating an immediate need for secure self-storage options where people can bring their valued possessions. We're a longstanding member of these communities and we're here to help those in need."

Local U-Haul Companies have made 25 stores - 15 in Oregon and 10 in Washington - available to offer assistance. People seeking more information about the U-Haul disaster relief program or needing to arrange 30 days of free self-storage should contact the nearest participating location:
