Where in Clearwater County we rent
Temporary kitchen rental for Clearwater County
When a permanent kitchen in Clearwater County is closed for renovation, repairs or an equipment failure, a rented mobile commercial kitchen lets meal service continue from a trailer parked on site. If the work spills into Orofino or Pierce, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.
Common choices include the 28ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A), the 24ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A) and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.
Site preparation is where most delays start. Check power against the model, plan water and drainage, and ask the local health authority in Clearwater County what it needs to see before cooking begins. Short-term rentals cover outages and events; long-term leasing suits renovations and projects that run for many months. Check the authority that covers the site itself; what cleared in Orofino is no guarantee for Pierce.
Warewashing and cold storage for Clearwater County
Warewashing is easy to overlook until the dish room is the thing that is down. Dishwashing trailers like the 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer and the 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer can be rented with a kitchen or on their own for Clearwater County sites. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Pierce as it does here.
Emergency refrigeration for Clearwater County means cold storage that arrives as a trailer. The 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer is one of three 20ft temperature configurations, subject to availability for your location. A walk-in that fails in Orofino starts the same clock on the stock inside.
A typical January night in Clearwater County drops to 22°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 79°F, and the county gets about 46 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). January lows run about 4 degrees warmer than the average Idaho county. In a wet climate the pad has to drain, so a rental kitchen is placed on firm, graded ground with a dry route for deliveries.
Who rents kitchen trailers in Clearwater County
Expect requests in Clearwater County from nursing homes, school districts, municipal agencies and disaster-response teams. A nursing home kitchen rental is a typical first conversation, followed by questions about power, water and placement. Pierce (about 520 residents) and Orofino (about 3,285 residents) each have their own mix of hospitals, schools and plants, but the reasons they rent line up.
CMS lists one hospital in Clearwater County: Clearwater Valley Hospital & Clinics, a critical access hospital. The county also has 1 nursing home certified by Medicare or Medicaid, with about 60 beds. The National Center for Education Statistics counts 7 public schools with about 1,061 students, in districts such as Orofino Joint District.
- Nursing Home and Assisted Living Kitchen Rentals: equipment failure in an older kitchen that cannot be repaired quickly
- School Cafeteria Kitchen Rentals During Renovation: summer cafeteria renovations that run late
- Municipal and Public Institution Kitchen Trailer Rentals: emergency operations centers that need to feed responders
- Disaster Response Kitchen Rentals and Emergency Food Service: feeding responders, crews and displaced staff after an incident
Local conditions and rental planning in Clearwater County
Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Clearwater County
OpenFEMA lists 13 disaster declarations that include Clearwater County, going back to 1964. The most frequent incident types were flooding (4 declarations) and severe storms (3 declarations). Orofino has its own page with its county's federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.
The most recent is Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4917), declared June 30, 2026, with the incident beginning March 11, 2026. Storm damage and long power outages can shut kitchens and warm the contents of walk-in coolers within hours. By incident type, the count is flooding 4, severe storms 3, wildfire 3, straight-line winds 1 and hurricane 1. By decade: 1960s 2, 1970s 1, 1980s 1, 1990s 2, 2000s 2, 2010s 3 and 2020s 2. Earlier declarations include Straight-Line Winds (DR-4905, April 7, 2026), Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4313, May 18, 2017), Municipal Fire (FM-5105, August 15, 2015), Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-1987, May 20, 2011) and Hurricane Katrina (EM-3244, September 13, 2005).
Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 4 county-based event records for Clearwater County; flood events account for 3 of them, high-wind and thunderstorm events for 1. The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flood in March 2017, with about $3 million in property damage. 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 11 large wildfires beginning in Clearwater County, about 28,601 acres in all. Moose Mountain (2026, 5,832 acres) was the largest. Fire weather means planned power cuts as well as fires, and a walk-in cooler does not keep product cold through a long shutoff.
Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.
Major construction near Clearwater County
Since October 2021, 7 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Clearwater County as the place of work. In May 2025, the Department of Defense awarded a $5.5 million contract for “Dwa Construction for the Dnfh Electrical Distribution Building” in Clearwater County, with work running to July 2026 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $975,000 Department of Defense contract, “Dwa Dent Acres & Lla Lewiston Levies Repaving,” starting August 2024 in Clearwater County (award record). The Department of Defense committed $852,000 to “Dwa - Fish Hatchery Bio-Filters Removal” in Clearwater County, awarded January 2024 (award record). Another public record is “Remove Existing Smolt Release Pipe & Replace,” a $621,000 Department of Defense contract from September 2023 in Clearwater 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 project in Pierce, about 520 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.
Renovation projects that close kitchens in Clearwater County
No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Clearwater County. The nearest is in Latah County, about 52 miles away. Another public record is “Remove and Replace Existing Chiller,” a $639,000 Department of Agriculture contract from October 2024 in Latah County (award record). Building repair and modernization work often closes a kitchen for part of the project, which is when a temporary kitchen on a lease keeps meals going. The closure date drives the plan in Orofino too.
Emergency equipment access around Clearwater County
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. Staging and access details differ again in Pierce, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.
Local rental costs in Clearwater County
Price depends on the model, the rental period, delivery and setup requirements and the utilities on site. Starting prices for kitchens near Clearwater County 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.

When the project needs more than a kitchen
Mobile kitchens in Clearwater County come first, and the rest follows from the site. Where crews live and work on site, remote workforce housing with multi-use crew support trailers (for example the Office, Sleeper, Shower and Restroom Trailer) and shower and restroom combination trailer rentals (the 22ft Six-Stall Shower and Restroom Trailer) can sit beside the kitchen. We confirm the exact unit and price in a written quote.
