Commercial kitchen trailers for Pierce
For Pierce, a modular kitchen trailer brings griddles, ranges, ovens, sinks and refrigeration in one unit instead of rebuilding them piece by piece. Orofino is only 21 miles away, with about 3,285 residents, and Kamiah about 21 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.
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.
Supporting rentals: warewashing and refrigeration in Pierce
Pair the kitchen with dishwashing. The 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer lists push-through low-temperature dishwasher, a three-compartment sink and a handwashing sink, on 220V, single phase, 150A. Lapwai, 48 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.
Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for Pierce is available on a short-term basis: ask for the 20ft Cooler Trailer, 32°F or a different temperature setting when you call. Genesee sits in Latah County, which has 14 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.
Climate normals for Clearwater County run from an average January low of 22°F to an average July high of 79°F, with roughly 46 inches of precipitation yearly. 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.
What shapes kitchen rentals in Pierce, ID
Past emergencies and recovery needs in Pierce
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. The records also list 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).
Between 2016 and 2025 the Storm Events Database recorded 4 county-based event records in Clearwater County, with flood events the most common at 3. NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $3 million, from a flood in March 2017. Flooding fouls kitchen equipment and drainage first, and a kitchen cannot reopen until it has been cleaned and inspected.
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. After a fire, inspections, smoke cleanup and power restoration decide when a kitchen reopens, and the meals have to come from somewhere in between.
FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.
Major construction near Pierce
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). 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 Kamiah, about 1,163 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.
Rebuilds and remodels around Pierce
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. In October 2024, the Department of Agriculture awarded a $639,000 contract for “Remove and Replace Existing Chiller” in Latah County, with work running to July 2025 (award record). Renovations like this are the usual reason an institution leases a mobile kitchen, because the permanent one cannot run while the work is under way. The closure date drives the plan in Grangeville too.
Getting emergency equipment into Pierce
The Idaho Office of Emergency Management (IOEM) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in Idaho. Those details are theirs to publish and update, so this page points to them instead of guessing at a route. For work in Lapwai, look to the agencies covering Nez Perce County rather than assuming the same routes.
By CMS's hospital list, the closest to Pierce is Clearwater Valley Hospital & Clinics, a critical access hospital, in Orofino, about 21 miles from Pierce in a straight line.
