VAN NUYS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- U-Haul^® is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box^® container use at two Company facilities near Simi Valley for residents who have already been displaced or may be impacted by the Sandy Fire.

The fast-spreading brush fire broke out late Monday morning near Sandy Avenue in Ventura County, growing rapidly to more than 700 acres with zero containment. Multiple structures have been destroyed, and mandatory evacuation orders are in effect for several zones across southern Simi Valley, with evacuation warnings extended into the Thousand Oaks area.

Access to self-storage units and portable storage containers is vital to communities when natural disasters strike. U-Haul is ready to help anyone affected by the Sandy Fire who needs a secure storage solution at no cost for one month.
