MANTECA, Calif. (July 2, 2018) — U-Haul Company of West Sacramento is offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents who have been or will be impacted by the County Fire on the hills east of Lake Berryessa.

The County Fire has created a need for Californians in this region, and particularly evacuees, to stow their valuables and other belongings in a secure facility.

“The County Fire started on Saturday and has already burned more than 44,000 acres,” stated Chris Trudell, U-Haul Company of West Sacramento president. “Many of our neighbors have been put in harm’s way and are in need of help. We want to provide them a place to keep their possessions at no charge for 30 days.”
