Temporary kitchen rental for Blackfoot facilities
For Blackfoot, a modular kitchen trailer brings griddles, ranges, ovens, sinks and refrigeration in one unit instead of rebuilding them piece by piece. Shelley is only 17 miles away, with about 5,262 residents, and Chubbuck about 19 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.
Kitchens in the fleet run from the 24ft Mobile Kitchen up to the 40ft Bulk Combo Kitchen. For a site like this one, the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen, 28ft Mobile Kitchen and 40ft Mobile Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.
Who rents kitchen trailers in Blackfoot
Expect requests in Blackfoot from jails, hotels, school districts and municipal agencies. A detention center kitchen trailer is a typical first conversation, followed by questions about power, water and placement. Care homes in Aberdeen and school kitchens in Iona, places of about 1,856 residents and about 3,113 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.

Blackfoot: emergencies, projects, access and costs
Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Blackfoot
Since 1976, Bingham County has been named in 5 FEMA declarations; flooding (2 declarations) and hurricane (1 declaration) lead the list. Shelley has its own page with its county's federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.
The most recent is Severe Winter Storms and Flooding (major disaster declaration, DR-4310), declared April 21, 2017, with the incident beginning February 5, 2017. Flooding tends to knock out power and drainage first, leaving kitchens unable to cook or keep food cold even when the building is standing. By incident type, the count is flooding 2, hurricane 1, wildfire 1 and severe storms 1. By decade: 1970s 1, 1990s 1, 2000s 2 and 2010s 1. Before that came Hurricane Katrina (EM-3244, September 13, 2005), Wildfires (DR-1341, September 1, 2000), Severe Storms, Snowmelt, Land/Mud Slides, Flooding (DR-1177, June 13, 1997) and Dam Collapse, Flooding (DR-505, June 6, 1976).
NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 77 county-based severe-weather event records for Bingham County between 2016 and 2025, led by high-wind and thunderstorm events (72) and flood events (5). The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flood in February 2017, with about $917,000 in property damage. Wind events bring down lines and trees, and a kitchen that loses power cannot keep stock cold for more than a few hours.
Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 4 large wildfires beginning in Bingham County, about 10,130 acres in all. Garden Creek (2025, 5,509 acres) was the largest. Crews fighting and rebuilding after a fire eat on site for weeks, and the kitchens that fed the town may be the ones that lost power.
A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.
Infrastructure work around Blackfoot
USASpending.gov lists 4 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Bingham County since October 2021, worth about $25 million together. USASpending.gov shows a $16 million Department of the Interior contract, “Bannock Pumping Plant Rehabilitation,” starting August 2026 in Bingham County (award record). Crews on projects like this rarely have a restaurant nearby, which is the case for cooking on site with a rented kitchen and a dishwashing trailer. A project in Chubbuck, about 16,577 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.
Renovation projects that close kitchens in Blackfoot
In October 2020, the Department of the Interior awarded a $8.1 million contract for “Tyhee Siphon Rehabilitation” in Bingham County, with work running to May 2022 (award record). Pocatello is on the same footing: the old kitchen closes on a date, and the temporary one has to be cooking before it.
Getting emergency equipment into Blackfoot
Public emergency operations in Idaho are coordinated by the Idaho Office of Emergency Management (IOEM), with county emergency managers handling local response. Staging areas and access routes for disaster response are published by those agencies and can change, so this page does not draw a route. For work in Idaho Falls, look to the agencies covering Bonneville County rather than assuming the same routes.
The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Bingham Memorial Hospital, a critical access hospital, in Blackfoot itself.
Pricing a mobile kitchen for Blackfoot
Price depends on the model, the rental period, delivery and setup requirements and the utilities on site. Starting prices for kitchens near Blackfoot include the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995, the 40ft Mobile Kitchen from $9,995 and the 28ft Mobile Kitchen from $6,995, and prices may vary. See the equipment pages for dishwashing and refrigeration. A kitchen for Ammon, 27 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.

Dishwashing trailers and cold storage for Blackfoot
Dishwashing trailers cover the other half of the line for Blackfoot facilities: low-temperature and high-temperature machines, push-through and conveyor styles, in several lengths. Start with the 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Idaho Falls, 26 miles from here, as it does here.
Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for Blackfoot is available on a short-term basis: ask for the 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer or a different temperature setting when you call. Ammon sits in Bonneville County, which has 5 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.
Climate normals for Bingham County run from an average January low of 14°F to an average July high of 85°F, with roughly 14 inches of precipitation yearly. January lows run about 4 degrees colder than the average Idaho county. Hard freezes are routine, so the water hookup is planned with heat tape or an insulated hose, and wastewater lines are kept from freezing between uses.
Before the trailer arrives in Blackfoot
Sites in Ucon, 34 miles away, and American Falls use the same checklist; only the pad and the paperwork change.
- Potable water: kitchens and dishwashing trailers need a clean supply close to where they sit.
- Supplies: mark a drop point for food and paper goods that keeps carts away from utility lines.
- Timing: share your start date and rental period so the quote reflects the real schedule.
See the site planning guides for power, water, wastewater and placement detail.
