Yes.

Not every crew eats at the main camp. Crews at spike camps and remote divisions still need hot breakfast and dinner, and the food has to arrive hot and safe after a long drive. Hot food transportation moves meals from the kitchen to where the crews are.
KDT supplies it at a daily rate: a stand-alone van crewed every shift, self-contained, thermostatically controlled hot holding at 140°F+, six or more hours of hot holding, capacity for 200+ hot meals, and daily transport of breakfast and dinner. Because the van itself holds the heat, meals stay at temperature for the whole run without insulated carriers. KDT supplies the heavy-duty disposable steam table pans, foil covers and oven mitts, protects the food from rodents, insects, dust and rain, and does all the loading and unloading.
KDT staffs each van with employees holding ServSafe or the applicable state food handler certification, on the incident's 2:1 work/rest ratio.

Yes. We supply hot food transportation vans that hold 200+ meals at 140°F or above for six hours, staffed with ServSafe-certified employees, for daily breakfast and dinner runs.
Can hot food be transported in Cambros on a fire?

Who provides the cold items and coolers?
The incident provides coolers for cold meal items, and they ride in the van at no extra charge when there's space.

It moves meals from the kitchen to the crews. KDT can also cook those meals through its mobile kitchen and catering service, or carry them from the incident's caterer.
