What public records show for food service in Challis
Past emergency
FEMA's 2017 declaration for Custer County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4333, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, on August 27, 2017 for Custer County, which includes Challis, for an incident that began May 6, 2017. It is one of 3 major disaster declarations covering Custer County since 2000. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Challis stays closed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Challis
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "(PW# 19) CHA002C -Culvert/Headwalls" (roads and bridges, about $335,000) in Custer County after DR-4333, a flood declared August 27, 2017; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Challis, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Challis
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Challis 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 Challis
Idaho is in FEMA Region 10, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Custer County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Idaho are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Challis would travel I-84 and local routes, as it would for nearby Custer County and Clayton. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Challis
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Challis'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
A 2-month project at a public high school cafeteria in Challis, rebuilding its walk-in cooler and freezer, would leave the building without a usable kitchen from the first day of demolition.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-84 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen trailer once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 2 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.5. Estimated rental cost
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $13,780 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
