Plan a temporary commercial kitchen in Dunsmuir, California around your menu, meal volume, site access and dates. The local example below shows one situation to discuss with FFM; the actual trailer, delivery route and price are confirmed for your project.
01 / Siskiyou County · Upper Sacramento River Canyon
Hypothetical rental example. This is not an FFM customer or completed deployment.
Before a future winter storm, a Dunsmuir diner, lodging operator or contractor could ask about a temporary kitchen for scheduled crew meals. A proposed trailer site should stay clear of snow-removal routes and allow safe delivery in winter conditions. The operator would confirm road access, a cleared level pad, utilities and the local approvals needed before arranging equipment.
KRCR reported that Caltrans required chain checks for northbound I-5 drivers in Dunsmuir on February 7, 2025; I-5 in Yreka was temporarily closed at noon and reopened by 1 p.m. This historical weather disruption is not evidence of an FFM response. Check current Caltrans and city notices before planning access.

02 / Equipment plan
For a winter kitchen plan, identify who needs meals, service times, the proposed location and who will clear and maintain access to the pad. Confirm the truck route and site conditions for the delivery date. Ask about refrigeration only after the available unit, power source and temperature requirements are reviewed for the actual site.
For a winter meal plan in Dunsmuir, identify the contractor or community group's meal count, schedule and proposed cleared pad before requesting an emergency kitchen trailer. Check snow-removal notices and avoid priority streets or locations that could obstruct plows. Confirm the delivery approach, turning area, surface, power, water and wastewater at the actual address, then arrange snow clearing and safe access for staff.

Share the exact address, a site plan and photos of the approach. Confirm trailer turning space, level placement, staff access and the route between the kitchen and serving area.
Review power, potable water, wastewater, grease handling, ventilation clearance and any approvals before the permanent kitchen goes offline.
03 / Site checklist
Identify a safe equipment position and the utilities actually available at your address. Give the team the length and width of the proposed pad, any gate or overhead restrictions, and the distance to the serving point.
Ask California and local food-service reviewers which permits and inspections apply. Delivery, connections and equipment availability are quoted for your exact site and dates.
04 / Published starting rates
These published starting prices help frame a Dunsmuir project. Your written quote confirms the available trailer, rental period, delivery route and site work.
Mobile kitchen trailer: 24–44 ft range shown in the FFM rate guide; one-week minimum. Estimated setup and delivery starts at $850 and varies by distance. Base rates include pre-delivery sanitization, entry steps, leveling and shore-power cable hookup assistance. Freight or mileage beyond 100 miles, fuel, greywater pumping and local health permits are billed separately. Final scope and pricing are confirmed in writing.
05 / Supporting equipment
Ask about refrigerated storage only after confirming the required temperature and the site's power and winter access. A shower-combination trailer is a separate request; verify its dimensions, placement, utility connections and servicing needs rather than assuming it fits the proposed pad.
Review the refrigeration trailer and cold-storage options for the stock in this plan. Confirm chilled or frozen operation, storage volume, electrical supply, loading access and the temperature controls of the actual unit quoted. FFM's published refrigeration trailer range is $350–$650 per day with a three-day minimum.
If the existing wash area also closes, ask about a commercial dishwashing trailer. Share the busiest tray and pan return period, the sanitation method, hot-water source and wastewater plan. The published dishwashing range is $750–$1,200 per day with a three-day minimum.
Start with the cooking space your operation needs. Add washing, cold storage or crew facilities where the existing site cannot support the work.

Plan temporary cooking, preparation and service space during a renovation, construction project or kitchen closure. Match the proposed layout to your menu, busiest meal period, delivery access, power, water and wastewater.
