Temporary kitchen rental for Fernley facilities
A mobile kitchen trailer rental in Fernley puts a complete commercial cooking line beside the building that needs it, so a closed kitchen does not have to mean closed meal service. Fallon is only 23 miles away, with about 9,647 residents, and Sparks about 28 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.
Sizing starts with how many meals you serve. The 40ft Mobile Kitchen and 38ft Mobile Kitchen suit different kitchen volumes, and the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen adds capacity for larger operations; compare their equipment lists and power needs before you choose.
Dishwashing and emergency refrigeration in Fernley
If the dish room is closed too, add a warewashing trailer. The 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer needs 220V, single phase, 300A; plan a drain route sized for continuous washing. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Carson City, 41 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 LT Refrigerated Trailer lists 220V, single phase, 40 to 60A and a standard receptacle. A walk-in that fails in Yerington starts the same clock on the stock inside.
NOAA's 1991 to 2020 county normals put the average January low in Lyon County at 22°F and the average July high at 91°F, with about 8 inches of precipitation a year. In dry country the water supply for the kitchen is the question to settle first, along with where wastewater will be held or hauled.
Fernley: emergencies, projects, access and costs
Past emergencies and recovery needs in Fernley
Federal records show Lyon County designated in 12 declarations since 1965, led by severe storms (4 declarations) and flooding (3 declarations). If you plan across towns, check the page for Fallon as well; Churchill County has 5 federal declarations on record.
The most recent is Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4708), declared April 27, 2023, with the incident beginning March 8, 2023. Floodwater can contaminate kitchen equipment and force closures until cleanup and inspection are finished, which is when replacement cooking, dishwashing and cold storage matter. By incident type, the count is severe storms 4, flooding 3, wildfire 2, snowstorm 2 and hurricane 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1980s 1, 1990s 1, 2000s 6, 2010s 2 and 2020s 1. Before that came Upper Colony Fire (FM-5242, June 17, 2018), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (DR-4303, February 17, 2017), Severe Winter Storms and Flooding (DR-1738, January 8, 2008), Linehan Fire Complex (FM-2650, June 27, 2006) and Severe Storms and Flooding (DR-1629, February 3, 2006).
NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 17 county-based severe-weather event records for Lyon County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (13) and high-wind and thunderstorm events (4). The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flood in January 2017, with about $1.3 million in property damage. After a flood the pad matters as much as the unit: a rental kitchen needs firm, well-drained ground and a clear route in.
No wildfire of 1,000 acres or more has a mapped origin in Lyon 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 Douglas County, about 24 miles away, where the Numbers fire burned 18,380 acres in 2020.
FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.
Infrastructure work around Fernley
No federal construction contract of $500,000 or more lists Lyon County as its place of work in USASpending.gov since October 2021. The nearest is in Douglas County, about 24 miles away. The Department of the Interior committed $2.2 million to “Nv-Lahontan NFH Well #6 Replacement” in Douglas County, awarded August 2021 (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 Sparks, about 111,520 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.
Major renovation in Fernley
Building work on record nearby: Another public record is “Nv-Lahontan NFH Remodel House #45,” a $515,000 Department of the Interior contract from March 2022 in Douglas County (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 Reno too.
Getting emergency equipment into Fernley
In Nevada, the Nevada Division of Emergency Management (NDEM) 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. For work in Carson City, look to the agencies covering Carson City rather than assuming the same routes.
The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Banner Churchill Community Hospital, a critical access hospital, in Fallon, about 23 miles from Fernley in a straight line.
Local rental costs in Fernley
There is no single price for every job in Fernley. Equipment, rental term, delivery and site conditions all change it. As a guide, prices start at the 38ft Mobile Kitchen from $7,995, the 40ft Bulk Kitchen from $10,995 and the 28ft Mobile Kitchen from $6,995, and they may vary. Yerington is quoted on the same factors, but at 42 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.

Industries we serve around Fernley
