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.
