Utah Wildfires: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Storage to Evacuees of Iron and Cottonwood Fires

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Six U-Haul^® facilities in Utah are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box^® container use to residents affected by the Iron and Cottonwood Fires, a pair of human-caused wildfires that have burned a combined 110,000 acres.

The Iron Fire has burned more than 40,000 acres in Juab and Tooele Counties and forced the full evacuation of Eureka. The fire began June 19 south of Boulter Peak and was 27% contained as of Friday morning. It has prompted the closure of U.S. Highway 6.

The Cottonwood Fire, burning in Beaver County, has grown to more than 70,000 acres with zero containment and destroyed the Eagle Point Resort. Mandatory evacuations remain in effect for several communities east of Beaver.

Access to self-storage units and portable storage containers is vital to communities when disasters strike. U-Haul is ready to help anyone impacted by the wildfires 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 participating facilities; delivery is available for a modest fee.
