TUCSON, Ariz., June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is
offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to
residents impacted by the Bighorn Fire in the Santa Catalina
Mountains north of Tucson.
The fire has burned nearly 5,000 acres this week, reports
indicated Thursday morning. The Pima
County Sheriff's Department and Pima County Office of
Emergency Management have ordered residents to evacuate in a
northern section of the Catalina Foothills.
"As the Bighorn Fire continues to spread, people are now having
to leave their homes and may need a secure facility to store their
valued belongings," stated Billy
Longenbaugh, U-Haul Company of Southern Arizona president. "We want our
neighbors and the City of Tucson
to know that we're here to help. Any displaced families needing
free self-storage for one month can make use of our disaster relief
program."
