Temporary kitchen rental for Tulelake facilities
A mobile kitchen trailer rental in Tulelake puts a complete commercial cooking line beside the building that needs it, so a closed kitchen does not have to mean closed meal service. A project that crosses into Montague (about 1,170 residents) usually keeps one menu, one crew and one power plan, which is why the kitchen is chosen first.
Common choices include the 28ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A), the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A) and the 24ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.

What shapes kitchen rentals in Tulelake, CA
What past disasters mean for kitchens in Tulelake
Federal records show Siskiyou County designated in 21 declarations since 1964, led by wildfire (7 declarations) and flooding (6 declarations). Montague has its own page with its county's federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.
The most recent is Tropical Storm Hilary (major disaster declaration, DR-4750), declared November 21, 2023, with the incident beginning August 19, 2023. Coastal storm recovery depends on feeding responders and displaced workers, often before the local power grid is restored. By incident type, the count is wildfire 7, flooding 6, severe storms 5, hurricane 2 and drought 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 3, 1990s 3, 2000s 2, 2010s 6 and 2020s 6. The records also list Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4683, January 14, 2023), Mill Fire (FM-5450, September 2, 2022), Lava Fire (FM-5393, June 29, 2021), Wildfires (DR-4569, October 16, 2020) and Slater Fire (FM-5361, September 9, 2020).
NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 15 county-based severe-weather event records for Siskiyou County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (13) and high-wind and thunderstorm events (2). Floodwater leaves a building standing but unusable, so cooking, dishwashing and cold storage have to run from a trailer on higher, firm ground.
Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 28 large wildfires beginning in Siskiyou County, about 940,513 acres in all. Haypress (River Complex) (2021, 193,402 acres) was the largest, and Butler (2025) the most recent. After a fire, inspections, smoke cleanup and power restoration decide when a kitchen reopens, and the meals have to come from somewhere in between.
A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.
Major construction near Tulelake
USASpending.gov lists 11 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Siskiyou County since October 2021, worth about $36 million together. In October 2021, the Department of the Interior awarded a $8.2 million contract for “GAOA - Design Build of New Visitors Center and Headquarters Building at Tule Lake NWR” in Siskiyou County, with work running to May 2024 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $3.4 million Department of the Interior contract, “CA Tule Lake NWR Bunk House Design-Build,” starting September 2024 in Siskiyou County (award record). The Department of Agriculture committed $886,000 to “Disaster, Lava Road Repair” in Siskiyou County, awarded June 2026 (award record). Another public record is “Grid Tied PV System, Lava Beds National Monument, Siskiyou County, California,” a $676,000 Department of the Interior contract from August 2023 in Siskiyou County (award record). A contract of that size means a crew that eats on site: hot food for many people on odd shifts, with water and wastewater to plan for the kitchen. A job in Alturas (about 2,652 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.
Major renovation in Tulelake
No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Siskiyou County. The nearest is in Jackson County, about 57 miles away. Another public record is “Minor Project 692-348 - Replace Seismically Deficient Building 220 for Education and Meeting Rooms,” a $9.8 million Department of Veterans Affairs contract from September 2018 in Jackson County (award record). In August 2021, the Department of the Interior awarded a $5.7 million contract for “OR- Nat'L Forensic Laboratory Seismic Up” in Jackson County, with work running to January 2024 (award record). Work inside an occupied facility tends to take its kitchen offline for weeks, so the plan for meals has to exist before the work starts. Weed is on the same footing: the old kitchen closes on a date, and the temporary one has to be cooking before it.
Emergency equipment access around Tulelake
The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in California. Those details are theirs to publish and update, so this page points to them instead of guessing at a route. Staging and access details differ again in Mount Shasta, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.
Modoc Medical Center, a critical access hospital is the nearest hospital CMS lists, in Alturas, about 57 miles from Tulelake in a straight line.
Local rental costs in Tulelake
A quote for Tulelake is built from the trailer you choose, the length of the rental, delivery distance and the setup the site needs. Starting points: the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen from $9,995, the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995 and the 28ft Mobile Kitchen from $6,995. Prices may vary. A kitchen for Yreka, 62 miles from here, is built from the same quote, with delivery adjusted for the address.
Starting prices are guides, and prices may vary with location, rental length, delivery, setup and utilities. A written quote states the equipment, the rental period and what is included.

Supporting rentals: warewashing and refrigeration in Tulelake
Pair the kitchen with dishwashing. The 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer lists conveyor-type low-temperature dishwasher, a three-compartment sink and a handwashing sink, on 220V, single phase, 220A. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Mount Shasta, 62 miles from here, as it does here.
A failed walk-in freezer is a race against thawing. Call the 24-hour line for an emergency refrigerated trailer; the 20ft Cooler Trailer, 32°F lists 220V, single phase, 40 to 60A and a standard receptacle. A walk-in that fails in Yreka starts the same clock on the stock inside.
A typical January night in Siskiyou County drops to 28°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 84°F, and the county gets about 38 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). January lows run about 8 degrees colder than the average California county. Four distinct seasons mean the plan covers both ends: cold-weather water lines in winter and condenser airflow in summer.
Who rents kitchen trailers in Tulelake
Who rents a mobile kitchen near Tulelake? Mostly municipal agencies, nursing homes, manufacturers and construction crews, along with contractors and public agencies. The need is usually the same: a working kitchen while the permanent one is unavailable. Dunsmuir (about 1,618 residents) and Shasta Lake (about 10,244 residents) each have their own mix of hospitals, schools and plants, but the reasons they rent line up.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services counts 2 hospitals in Siskiyou County, all critical access: Fairchild Medical Center and Mercy Medical Center of MT Shasta. Certified nursing care adds 1 home and roughly 59 beds. The National Center for Education Statistics counts 51 public schools with about 6,006 students, in districts such as Yreka Union Elementary, Yreka Union High and Scott Valley Unified.
