U-Haul Offering 30 Days of Free Self-Storage to Northern Arizona Residents Affected by the Yarnell Hill Fire

PRESCOTT, Ariz.,– (July 1, 2013) — The U-Haul Company of Northern Arizona and U-Haul Company of Western Arizona are offering 30 days of free storage to residents of Northern Arizona who have been evacuated or need to move their belongings away from the Yarnell Hill Fire.

In addition to the 30-days-free self-storage assistance being offered, people who need boxes can take advantage of the U-Haul Take a Box, Leave a Box Program. The program enables customers to return their reusable boxes and allows others to take them as needed – FREE. U-Haul encourages anyone who has any type of reusable box to drop it off at the nearest U-Haul location and allow another family to reuse the box, free of charge, instead of throwing the reusable box into the recycling bin.
