Fires
A kitchen fire hit Takos & Beer two days before its Yuma grand opening
Takos & Beer's new Yuma location had a kitchen fire on a Wednesday afternoon in April 2024, two days before the grand opening. Staff evacuated, crews spent about 1.5 hours making sure the fire was out, and the building was considered semi-hazardous. The restaurant's team said it might serve the new menu from a food truck in the parking lot while the kitchen was out.
A kitchen that burns before opening day usually has a freshly stocked walk-in, too. A rented refrigerated trailer outside holds the opening inventory while the building is cleared, and a mobile kitchen trailer can do more than a food truck, cooking a full menu in the lot until the real kitchen is back.
Heat
Yuma's lettuce growers were racing 90-degree days in February, with the cold chain as the deadline
In late February 2026 highs in Yuma County were already reaching the 90s, earlier than growers expect, and heat can make lettuce bitter and pale. Harvest sped up, with workers starting as early as 4 a.m. and nighttime picking planned as temperatures neared triple digits. Cut lettuce is packed in the field, palletized fast and trucked 35 to 45 minutes to a local cooler.
That drive is where the quality is won or lost, and in a rush it's also where a cooler fills up. A portable 20ft refrigerated trailer at a packing site or staging area gives growers more cold space during a fast harvest, and a generator trailer lets it run at a field edge with no grid.

Agriculture
Yuma County grows about 90% of the leafy greens Americans eat in winter, and the first picks came on November 10
Yuma County has more than 180,000 acres of farmland and supplies about 90% of the leafy greens eaten in the U.S. in winter. Fieldworkers picked some of the 2025 season's first lettuce on November 10, after heavy September monsoon rains disrupted early fieldwork and a later wet spell forced hand-thinning when machines couldn't run in wet fields.
When harvest labor and weather compress the calendar, the cooling capacity around the fields gets squeezed too. A refrigerated container works as seasonal cold storage on a farm or packing yard, with no building permit to wait for, and a 20ft refrigerated trailer can move product between field and cooler when it has to.
Storms and outages
Yuma set a rainfall record on August 25, 2025, and nearly 5,000 APS customers lost power
Yuma got 1.12 inches of rain on August 25, 2025, breaking a daily record set in 1982. Nearly 5,000 APS customers in Yuma lost power at the peak, mostly from wind, lightning and trees on power lines. Most were back by 3 a.m. the next day. Eight utility poles went down in Yuma County, and some county roads were closed or washed out.
Most of the outage ran overnight, but for a restaurant or grocery with a loaded cooler that's still a long stretch in August heat. A generator trailer on standby keeps a walk-in running if the utility restoration estimate slips, and a refrigerated trailer takes the stock if a compressor fails after the power comes back.
BlueWater Resort and Casino in Parker was named the official host hotel of the Parker 400 off-road race

Large events
More than 15,000 people came to the 2025 Yuma Airshow, and the 60th followed on March 14
The 59th Yuma Airshow at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma on March 15, 2025 drew more than 15,000 people, with food trucks from across Yuma lined along the runway, static aircraft displays and acrobatic flights. The 60th anniversary show followed on March 14, 2026, the only open-to-the-public event at the air station each year.
Food trucks lining a runway can't restock from a restaurant down the street. A shared refrigerated trailer at the edge of the vendor lane lets each truck pull cold product through the day, and a mobile kitchen trailer adds capacity when the lines are longest.
Large events
The Yuma County Fair expected about 160,000 visitors and moved six buildings out of the flight path
For the 2024 fair, general manager Eric Wofford expected about 160,000 people at the fairgrounds across from MCAS Yuma, where the fair has been since 1953. Six buildings were moved out from under the base's flight path and the ride area was rearranged, after the county said events there had interfered with Marine training. The grounds host about 200 events a year.
A rearranged fairgrounds means food booths end up in new spots, often far from where they used to plug in. A portable refrigerated trailer can follow them, so cold storage isn't tied to a fixed building, and for a fair that draws that many people a dishwashing trailer keeps the food court supplied with clean ware.
Buc-ee's opened in Goodyear on June 22 with the parking lot open at midnight
Goodyear is about 135 miles northeast of Yuma.

AGFest filled downtown Yuma with ag-themed food on January 24
Yuma's AGFest, formerly the Medjool Date Festival, ran Saturday, January 24, 2026, from 1 to 9 p.m. in downtown Yuma, free to attend. It honors local growers and the region's reputation as the winter vegetable capital of the world, with ag-themed food and drinks, live music, dance performances and a kids' zone.
A festival built around local produce shows off the cold chain as much as the harvest. Vendors serving fresh vegetables, dairy or meat in a downtown block need a safe place to keep them between lunch and the evening rush. A shared refrigerated container at the edge of the festival footprint does that, and a mobile kitchen is useful when a vendor needs more prep space.
Heat
Yuma's fire department warned about rising heat emergencies as temperatures passed 110
In early July 2026, Yuma was well into triple digits, with temperatures passing 110 that week, and the Yuma Fire Department said heat-related emergencies were rising and told residents how to stay cool.
At those temperatures, food has far less margin than people do. A walk-in whose compressor is struggling in a Yuma afternoon can fail without much warning, and a refrigerated trailer rental is how a restaurant, caterer or market keeps selling if it does. A 12ft refrigerated trailer is small enough for a back lot, and a generator trailer keeps it cold if the power goes down in the same heat.
Avondale picked Blueprints Capital and Whitten Development for 16 acres off I-10 at The BLVD

Fires
Three packing sheds burned in the Gila Valley, and the ammonia building was saved
A fire in November 2012 destroyed three large Bruce Church produce packing sheds in the Gila Valley, east of Yuma. The sheds collapsed and were expected to smolder for days. One person who appeared to have been inside was hospitalized, and firefighters saved a fourth building that stored the ammonia used in refrigeration.
A packing shed that loses its building loses its cold storage with it, in the middle of a harvest. Growers in that spot need temporary cooling fast, and a 20ft refrigerated trailer or refrigerated container on the property can hold product while the rebuild is planned, backed by a generator trailer if the power is cut.
Construction
Sprouts announced a second Yuma store in the Foothills, at 23,228 square feet
Sprouts Farmers Market announced a second Yuma store in 2024, a 23,228-square-foot space in the Yuma Foothills with another 11,250 square feet of attached inline retail, developed by The Spencer Cos. The construction timeline wasn't disclosed.
A new grocery means a full produce, dairy and frozen stock-up before the doors open, often before every cooling system has been fully tested. A temporary refrigerated trailer parked behind the store handles that first order. After it's open, the same trailer can cover a holiday rush or a compressor repair.
