DENVER, Jan. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® Company
of Northern Colorado has made four
stores available to provide 30 days of free self-storage to people
impacted by the devastating Marshall
Fire in Boulder County.
Thousands of residents in Superior, Louisville and neighboring areas have been
evacuated, and an estimated 1,000-plus homes have been destroyed by
the wildfire that sparked late Thursday morning. Accessibility to
local storage units can play a small part in the recovery
process.
"This wildfire is already the most destructive in our state's
history," said Ryan Preston, U-Haul
Company of Northern Colorado
president. "It is heartbreaking for so many of our neighbors who
are starting 2022 without a home, or away from their homes. With
the rebuilding process ahead, we want help by offering secure
storage to those impacted at no cost for a full month."
Outreach efforts have extended to U-Haul Company of Southern Colorado, based in Colorado Springs, where the team has collected
food, clothes and supplies needed for displaced residents. Those
items are being delivered to Boulder
County today.
