Kitchen trailers for rent in Butte-Silver Bow (balance), MT
Emergency food service in Butte-Silver Bow (balance) often starts with one question: where will the next meal be cooked?

Butte-Silver Bow (balance): emergencies, projects, access and costs
What past disasters mean for kitchens in Butte-Silver Bow (balance)
Federal records show Silver Bow County designated in 5 declarations since 1981, led by wildfire (2 declarations) and hurricane (1 declaration). Anaconda-Deer Lodge County has its own page, and its county, Deer Lodge County, lists 8 federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.
The most recent is Hurricane Katrina Evacuation (emergency declaration, EM-3253), declared September 13, 2005, with the incident beginning August 29, 2005. Hurricane damage and long outages can close kitchens for weeks, and recovery crews need meals while permanent facilities are repaired. The latest major disaster declaration is Wildfires (DR-1340), declared August 30, 2000. By incident type, the count is wildfire 2, hurricane 1, severe storms 1 and flooding 1. By decade: 1980s 1, 1990s 1 and 2000s 3. Earlier declarations include Mt-Southwestern Zone Two Fire Complex (FM-2317, August 5, 2000), Severe Storms, Flooding, and Ice Jams (DR-1105, February 23, 1996) and Severe Storms & Flooding (DR-640, May 27, 1981).
Between 2016 and 2025 the Storm Events Database recorded 5 county-based event records in Silver Bow County, with flood events the most common at 3. Flooding fouls kitchen equipment and drainage first, and a kitchen cannot reopen until it has been cleaned and inspected.
No wildfire of 1,000 acres or more has a mapped origin in Silver Bow County in NIFC's records since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in Jefferson County, about 33 miles away, where the Haystack fire burned 24,326 acres in 2021.
FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.
Construction projects and crew meals near Butte-Silver Bow (balance)
Since October 2021, 12 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Silver Bow County as the place of work. The Department of the Interior committed $850,000 to “Bfo Butte Systems Furniture” in Silver Bow County, awarded September 2022 (award record). Another public record is “GAOA Chain of Lakes Potable Water System,” a $756,000 Department of the Interior contract from September 2025 in Silver Bow County (award record). In August 2025, the Department of the Interior awarded a $564,000 contract for “GAOA - Glasgow Stream Crossing Improvements” in Silver Bow County, with work running to October 2026 (award record). Work like this puts crews on a site for months, often far from a restaurant, and the meals become a logistics question before the first shift starts. A project in Whitehall, about 1,116 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.
Major renovation in Butte-Silver Bow (balance)
No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Silver Bow County. The nearest is in Beaverhead County, about 54 miles away. The Department of the Interior committed $534,000 to “GAOA Maiden Rock Site Renovations” in Beaverhead County, awarded June 2023 (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. Whoever remodels in Deer Lodge starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?
Getting emergency equipment into Butte-Silver Bow (balance)
In Montana, the Montana Disaster and Emergency Services (DES) works with counties on emergency operations. Official staging areas and the roads that connect them to local emergency-management hubs are published by those agencies and should be checked there. Staging and access details differ again in Boulder, in Jefferson County, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.
The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Deer Lodge Medical Center, a critical access hospital, in Deer Lodge, about 35 miles from Butte-Silver Bow (balance) in a straight line.
Pricing a mobile kitchen for Butte-Silver Bow (balance)
Price depends on the model, the rental period, delivery and setup requirements and the utilities on site. Starting prices for kitchens near Butte-Silver Bow (balance) include the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen from $9,995, the 28ft Mobile Kitchen from $6,995 and the 40ft Bulk Kitchen from $10,995, and prices may vary. See the equipment pages for dishwashing and refrigeration. Dillon is quoted on the same factors, but at 47 miles away a different address can change delivery and setup terms.
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 Butte-Silver Bow (balance)
If the dish room is closed too, add a warewashing trailer. The 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer needs 220V, 3 phase, 200A; plan a drain route sized for continuous washing. Boulder, 35 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.
A failed walk-in freezer is a race against thawing. Call the 24-hour line for an emergency refrigerated trailer; the 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer lists 220V, single phase, 40 to 60A and a standard receptacle. In Dillon, where Beaverhead County has 4 federal declarations on record, the call for emergency refrigeration begins the same way.
NOAA's 1991 to 2020 county normals put the average January low in Silver Bow County at 14°F and the average July high at 77°F, with about 18 inches of precipitation a year. July highs run about 5 degrees cooler than the average Montana 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.
