Menu and volume
List the meals, busiest service period, preparation tasks and staff who will use the temporary kitchen. Request the layout and equipment list for the unit offered.

Plan a temporary commercial kitchen in Firebaugh, 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 / Fresno County · West Side of the San Joaquin Valley
Hypothetical rental example. This is not an FFM customer or completed deployment.
For a future, authorized levee-repair assignment near Firebaugh, a contractor could assess a modular kitchen trailer for crew meals and request refrigerated storage separately. The layout would depend on a safe staging area, the repair schedule and routes for workers from Mendota and Dos Palos. Site access, utilities, approvals and equipment availability would need to be confirmed before the crew relies on the setup.
A June 2023 KVPR and SJV Water report described San Joaquin River seepage around Firebaugh, flooding farmland and the basement of the new police department. It reported five major levee emergencies and about $140 million in needed levee repairs; this is dated history, not a current incident or an FFM deployment.

02 / Equipment plan
For a separate future project, confirm that incident or construction managers have authorized the site and delivery route. Share crew size, shifts, menu, staging coordinates and the work duration. Review the kitchen layout, refrigeration requirements, vehicle access, power, potable water, wastewater, sanitation and site servicing before requesting a written quote.
For a future, authorized levee-repair assignment near Firebaugh, provide the project contact, crew size, shifts, menu, requested dates and designated staging coordinates. Ask about a modular kitchen trailer that fits the approved pad and meal schedule. Review the approach road, turning area, worker path and distance from active repair operations. Confirm the required utilities, potable-water quality, wastewater handling, food approvals, weather protection and delivery access before a crew depends on temporary cooking.

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 Firebaugh 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
Request refrigerated storage as a separate option for crew food, ice or other supplies. State the temperature requirement, volume, power and safe loading arrangement. Shower-combination facilities also need a separate site review for placement, water, wastewater, servicing and approval.
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.

These Firebaugh examples are hypothetical rental scenarios, not FFM customer jobs. The workbook supplies local context and source links; confirm current dates, site rules and details before planning.
This Firebaugh rental scenario is hypothetical and does not describe a confirmed FFM customer or deployment.
In spring 2023, high San Joaquin River flows seeped through levees around Firebaugh, flooding hundreds of acres of farmland and reaching the basement of the new police department and some homes. Five major levee emergencies required state and county repairs, and the city estimated needed levee repairs at about $140 million. For example, levee repair crews working long shifts near Firebaugh and Mendota could use a modular kitchen trailer as a temporary workforce kitchen, a refrigerated trailer for food and ice, and a shower combo trailer at the staging area.
