What public records show for food service in Chaffee County
Past emergency
FEMA's 2002 declaration for Chaffee County
FEMA has made 2 major disaster declarations for Chaffee County since 2000; the latest, DR-1421, wildfires, was declared on June 19, 2002 after an incident that began April 23, 2002, and it covered Chaffee County. Wildfire smoke and evacuations can close kitchens, and burned utilities take time to restore. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Chaffee County stays closed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Chaffee County
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Chaffee County since 2016. Building work can still close a kitchen in Chaffee County for weeks, and a leased kitchen trailer keeps the facility's own staff cooking on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Chaffee County
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Chaffee County can schedule a temporary commercial kitchen for the work, sized to its menu, meal counts, and the electrical service on site, instead of closing its kitchen.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Chaffee County
Colorado is in FEMA Region 8, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Chaffee County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Colorado are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Chaffee County would travel I-25 and local routes, as it would for nearby Buena Vista and Pitkin. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a nursing and rehabilitation center in Chaffee County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Chaffee County's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.
1. Situation
Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-1421 (wildfires, declared June 19, 2002): a nursing and rehabilitation center in Chaffee County is closed after smoke damage, and the people it feeds still need their meals.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), parked near the loading dock, where staff can move food between the trailers and the serving line.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-25 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Plan on roughly 5 hours from parking to cooking for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.4. Timeline
Within the first day, the facility shares its meal counts and site photos. Equipment ships once placement is confirmed, and the weekly rental continues until the building kitchen reopens.5. Estimated rental cost
38ft Mobile Kitchen $7,995 + 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $2,995 = $15,985 per month on our starting price list for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
