U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage to Sevier County Residents Affected by Fires

ALCOA, Tenn., Nov. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul Company of Knoxville is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box container usage to residents of Sevier County and surrounding areas who have been evacuated from their homes or need to move their possessions away from the outbreak of fires.

U-Haul is extending the offer to impacted individuals and families at all U-Haul-owned and -operated facilities in the area where there is self-storage availability.

"It's important for U-Haul to offer support to our community members who have been affected by this disaster," said Pat Spencer, U-Haul Company of Knoxville president.
