TEMECULA, Calif., Dec. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul Company of
Oceanside is offering 30 days of free self-storage to Southern
Californians who have been or will be impacted by the Lilac Fire or
Liberty Fire.
Firefighters in Southern
California are currently battling six major blazes. The two
newest fires are burning in San Diego
County and Riverside
County. Crews expect the high winds to continue throughout
the weekend, fanning the flames and affecting more residents in
these areas.
The fires have created a need for Californians, and particularly
evacuees, to stow their valuables and other belongings in a secure
facility.
"The strong wind gusts are continuing to make this battle
tougher for our first responders," said Travis Cochran-Kilman, U-Haul Company of
Oceanside president. "Many of our neighbors have been put in harm's
way and are in need of help. We want to offer them a safe place to
bring their possessions at no charge for 30 days."
