The Lavatory sets the bar for portable shower trailer rentals in Costa Mesa
The Lavatory is the top-rated name for portable shower trailer rentals in Costa Mesa for one plain reason: our units are already staged close by, not two states away. When a race director adds a second shower block on Thursday, or a shelter opens at the fairgrounds by lunch, a trailer can be rolling within hours. We are the largest luxury trailer fleet in the Western U.S., with over 250 units we own outright, an A+ BBB rating, 5-star Google reviews and more than 30 years in event and job rentals. Our team placed restroom trailers at the Las Vegas Raiders summer camp at Jack Hammett Sports Complex in 2024, so we already know the local lots and gates. Call us now for same-day dispatch, or request a free quote and we will hold your dates.
Over 250 trailers, all ours
We are the largest luxury trailer fleet in the Western U.S., and we never broker your job to someone else. The team that books your unit drives it, sets it up and services it.
A+ BBB and 5-star reviews
We are licensed and insured, SAM.gov registered and rated A+ by the BBB. Our 5-star Google reviews come from crews and event teams who used the same trailers you will get.
30+ years of rental know-how
We have spent more than 30 years in event and equipment rentals. That is why the first call covers slope, gate width, power and greywater before we quote.
We know the fairgrounds gates
The OC Fair & Event Center hosts more than 150 events a year, and gate times change with each one. We confirm the load-in gate and the lot before the truck leaves.
“Our 10K finish at the fairgrounds in Costa Mesa had a shower trailer waiting for the staff and elite runners, and it made the morning feel first class. Whoever answered our calls stayed patient with every change to the plan. Anyone organizing an outdoor event should talk to this team.”
“Our framing crew used the shower trailer every evening, and each stall looked like it had been scrubbed that morning. Hot water, a door that locks and a driver who knew the site gate made a big difference for the guys.”
“Each text I sent about the water hookup or the 50 amp plug for our shower trailer got a reply within minutes. Their setup people were friendly, and since they cover all of Orange County, our second site down the coast was no problem.”
The self-contained shower units that get booked again and again across Costa Mesa
The companies that could rent anything still call us, because a bad shower at a base camp or a film set becomes the story of the whole job. The Lavatory has provided trailers for names like Google, Tesla, BMW, Mercedes, eBay, and Target, for hospitality at Caesars Palace, and for pro sports including the Golden State Warriors, Oakland A’s, and Las Vegas Raiders.
The reason those bookings repeat is simple. A hot shower at the end of a long day is the one thing a crew remembers about the camp, so the trailer has to be stocked, heated and serviced every day of the job, not just the first one. That is how we run every unit in the fleet, and it is the same standard behind every Costa Mesa booking, from a two-week jobsite to a festival campground.
Three decades in event and equipment rental, running the largest luxury trailer fleet in the Western U.S. Every unit ours, never a broker’s.
Portable shower trailers for race finishes at the OC Fair & Event Center
For a race finish or a big crew yard in Costa Mesa we usually start with the 8-Station, since one unit covers about 200 showers a day. Tight Eastside lots and shelter support often do better with the ADA + 2 or a 2-Station combo.
The Hoag OC Marathon ends at the OC Fair & Event Center, and in 2026 every distance sold out. The course starts at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, runs through Costa Mesa past Segerstrom Center and South Coast Plaza, and comes back along the Santa Ana River Trail to the fairgrounds. Thousands of runners cross one finish line between about 8 and 11 in the morning, and most of them face a long drive home. A row of private showers in Costa Mesa, set right beside the finish festival, is the thing elite runners, pacers and race staff remember.
Race crews start long before the gun. Timing teams, medical tents and volunteers show up around 3 a.m. for a 5:30 start, and many of them worked the Saturday evening 5K the night before. We place an 8-Station Private Shower Trailer near the staff village so those crews get a hot shower between shifts. Each of its eight rooms locks, and the 1.5 GPM metered heads stretch the 200 gallon tank a long way before the first refill.
The fittings inside a shower unit
Private rooms with a lockable door
Every shower is its own room with a door that locks, a bench and a hook, so a crew or a camp showers with real privacy instead of a curtain in a row.
Hot and cold water controls
A water heater and onboard tanks feed hot and cold controls in each room, with 1.5 GPM shower heads so the hot water lasts through a full shift of people.
Air conditioning and heat
Climate control in every trailer, so a shower in a July heat wave or a January storm response feels like the one at home.
One-piece gel-coated fiberglass
Walls, ceiling and floor are one molded fiberglass surface with no seams, which is why the rooms clean fast, stay clean and never smell like a locker room.
Runs with or without hookups
Fresh and waste tanks on board, a generator when the site has no power, and the option to tie into on-site septic on a long deployment.
Serviced, stocked and pumped
We deliver the trailer stocked and come back to pump, restock and clean on longer jobs, so day twelve looks like day one.
Mud runs make the clearest case for showers. Events like the Muddy Dash and the Mud Girl Run at Oak Canyon Park send every finisher out coated in mud from the walls and slides. We pair a rinse line with private rooms so people can get clean before they climb back into a car. The same setup works for the OC Fair Fun Run in August, the Night Nation Run on the fairgrounds in May and the weekly race nights at Costa Mesa Speedway, where riders and pit crews spend the whole evening on clay.
Race producers often book luxury showers for rent in Costa Mesa as a perk for sponsors and elite fields. We set the unit on the paved lot, run a hose from a fairgrounds spigot or fill the tanks the day before, and pump the waste after the last runner leaves. If your course also has a beach start or a second race down the coast, we handle Huntington Beach portable shower trailers from the same dispatch.
We also handle Garden Grove, California mobile shower trailer rentals.
Full specifications for every unit are on the 8-Station spec page and its four sister pages, or call and we will spec it to your Costa Mesa head count.
The full shower trailer fleet is one page over; below is how we size a unit to a California job.
Sizing hot-water shower trailers to the Costa Mesa area head count
Five shower units cover everything from a single ADA-compliant room to a camp that showers two hundred people a day. Every one has hot water, private rooms and climate control. Tell us the head count, how long the job runs and what the site has for water and power, and we will size it.
8-Station Private Shower Trailer
Eight completely private shower rooms in a 29-foot box, built for crews, camps and relief sites of up to about 200 people a day. Hot and cold controls, 200-gallon fresh and 950-gallon waste tanks, an exterior four-sink hand wash bank under the roof line, and it can tie into on-site septic for long deployments. CAL FIRE approved for wildfire camp service, the spec incident teams ask for in every western state.
ADA + 2 Private Shower Trailer
Two standard private shower rooms plus one ADA room with a self-contained ramp, built to federal and California ADA requirements. The right unit when a site needs accessibility without giving up capacity, with 210 gallons of fresh water on board.
4-Station Shower, Restroom and Laundry Combo
Four private bathrooms, each with a toilet, sink, shower and power outlet, plus a washer and dryer in a separate room. A self-contained hygiene block for a crew of up to about 30 on a remote or long-term job.
2-Station Shower and Restroom Combo
Two private bathrooms with a toilet, sink and shower each, in a compact 11-foot box. The pick for a small crew, a ranch job or a production base that needs both functions in one footprint.
Single-Station ADA Shower and Restroom Combo
One fully accessible room: ADA china toilet with grab bars, roll-in shower with a seat and hand wand, ADA-height sink and vanity, and a ramp that deploys in minutes. It pairs with any other unit so every person on site is covered.
Bigger jobs run several trailers side by side, and long deployments get a service schedule instead of a one-time drop. If you are between sizes, we spec it to the head count rather than nudge you into more trailer than the job calls for.
We serve crews, camps and productions with shower trailer rentals throughout California, sized to the head count.
Hot-water shower trailers for wildfire camps and evacuation shelters near Costa Mesa
Costa Mesa sits on the coast, yet the city plays a real part in Orange County’s fire response. During the Airport Fire in September 2024, which burned 23,526 acres around Trabuco Canyon, the OC Fair & Event Center became a large-animal shelter, and nearly two dozen horses stayed on the grounds. Owners and volunteers stayed with them for days. A shelter like that has barns and restrooms, but it has no showers for the people doing the work.
Fires closer to home happen too. On June 23, 2024, a brush fire burned about 8.4 acres at the north end of Talbert Regional Park, and the Balearic Community Center opened as an evacuation point for Swan Drive. A community center can open in an hour. Hot showers for an overnight stay take a trailer. Our ADA + 2 unit fits beside most community center lots, with a self-contained ramp and one accessible room.
For fire camps out in the canyons, the 8-Station Private Shower Trailer is CAL FIRE approved and serves about 200 people a day. It draws power from one 50 amp, 220 volt circuit or a generator, and its 950 gallon waste tank lets a camp go a full day between pump-outs. We set a nightly service run so the tanks never fill during the morning rush. Agencies can check our SAM.gov registration and insurance before the truck leaves.
Fires in the canyons east of the city often mean a staging yard closer to Irvine. Our dispatch handles multi-station shower trailer rentals near Irvine with the same trucks and drivers. Relief groups that book Costa Mesa, California private showers for a shelter can keep the same unit as the stay stretches, and we swap in a larger trailer if the head count climbs. Agencies that keep mobile shower trailer rentals near Costa Mesa on their vendor list get a faster answer when the call comes.
Four steps to a hot-water shower trailer on a Costa Mesa-area site
Booking should be the easy part of running a site. Four steps, a straight answer, and one team that owns the whole thing.
Tell us about the site
Share the dates, a rough head count and where the trailer will sit. That is enough for us to point you to the right unit and count.
We match the trailer and the hookups
We confirm whether the site has water and power or needs a generator and a supply, and pin the exact spot so delivery is one clean trip.
Delivery and setup
We arrive on your schedule, level and set the trailer, connect it, heat the water and stock every room so it is ready before the first shift ends.
Use it, we handle service and pickup
The trailer holds up through the whole deployment while our line stays open. When you are done, we come back and take it away.
The self-contained shower units we send to Costa Mesa-area jobs, pictured
Our shower trailers, and the kinds of sites we set them up on. Base camps, jobsites, race weekends, productions and the relief sites where the trailer has to run for weeks.
Placement, permits and ADA for hot-water shower trailers in the Costa Mesa area
Commercial filming on any city street, park or city lot in Costa Mesa needs a permit, and you apply through the TESSA online portal run by Parks and Community Services. A shoot on private property needs one too, unless it uses no public property, no parking variance and no pyrotechnics. We send a simple site sketch showing where the trailer sits, so the permit file is complete the first time.
Events on city property need a special event permit, and the trailer belongs on that site plan along with its power and water source. The OC Fair & Event Center is state land run by the 32nd District Agricultural Association, so events there follow the fairgrounds’ own approvals. We work with their event staff on gate times and lot placement.
Greywater and waste never go on the ground. We pump on a schedule or tie into a sewer connection where the site allows, and we keep service records for agencies. Federal sanitation rules in OSHA 1910.141 set the basics for showers on jobs that call for them, including hot and cold water, and every room in our units has both. Crews planning work in more than one county can compare units on our page for deluxe shower trailer rentals across the state of California.
Ramps, rooms and pad prep on the site
- ADA-compliant shower units with a ramp, roll-in shower, seat, hand wand, grab bars and an ADA-height sink.
- Guidance on where to place the trailer so it is easy to reach, easy to service and level.
- Water and power sorted before delivery, with a generator and a water supply staged when the site has neither.
- Licensed and insured on every unit we put on the road.
One thing we always say plainly: some sites, agencies and city permits have their own rules on placement, accessibility, greywater and temporary hygiene facilities. Tell us the site and we will help you plan around them, but confirm any permit requirements with the property or the agency as well.
Set, serviced and picked up: mobile shower units in the Costa Mesa area
We handle the whole thing, not just the drop-off. Our team delivers the trailer, levels and sets it, connects water and power or stages a generator and a water supply, fires the heater and stocks every room before the first person needs it. When the job wraps, we come back and haul it away.
On longer or higher-traffic bookings in Costa Mesa, we pump and restock on a schedule, and an on-site attendant is available for camps and productions where the trailer runs all day. That always-clean standard is the difference between a shower people use once and one they are glad to use every night of the job.
Why outreach programs budget for a crew shower trailer first in Costa Mesa
Think about what a Costa Mesa deployment actually costs to run. Wages, lodging, fuel, the schedule pressure, the people you are asking to work long days away from home. Then picture the end of that shift with nowhere to get clean. A shower is the one thing every person on site uses, and it is the detail they quietly judge the whole camp by.
A private shower trailer protects everything else you are spending. Crews sleep better and stay on the job, a production keeps cast and crew comfortable through a long schedule, and a relief site gives people back a piece of normal. Set against the cost of the deployment, it is a small line item that carries a lot of the morale, which is why the managers who have run a camp without one book the trailer first the next time.
Crew shower trailer rentals for Costa Mesa housing, freeway and campus jobs
Costa Mesa is in the middle of its biggest building wave in decades. In September 2026 the City Council approved 2,300 homes at the old Fairview Developmental Center on Harbor Boulevard, with 920 affordable units and 25 acres of open space. One Metro West on Sunflower Avenue adds about 1,057 apartments, and Hive Live on Susan Street plans 1,050 homes over an eight-year buildout. Each one is a multi-year job with crews on site every working day.
Old state buildings at Fairview mean demolition and abatement before anyone pours a slab. Those crews need a real shower at the end of the shift, not a wipe-down by the truck. We set crew shower trailer rentals in Costa Mesa right next to the site trailer, hook up to a water meter when the contractor has one, and run off onboard tanks when they don’t. Every room locks, has hot water and gets cleaned on a set schedule.
Freeway work is a different shape. The SR-55 widening between the 5 and the 405, plus the 405 express lanes to the south, put night crews in staging yards along the corridor. A 2-Station combo fits a tight yard and still gives two workers a private toilet, sink and shower at the same time. For bigger yards, the 4-Station Shower, Restroom and Laundry Combo serves a crew of about 30 and washes their work clothes too. Costa Mesa shower trailer rentals for these jobs usually run month to month.
Campus jobs at Orange Coast College, hangar work at John Wayne Airport and tenant builds in South Coast Metro all bring in travelling trades who live out of hotels for weeks. Contractors who rent a private shower trailer in Costa Mesa for those crews get people on site earlier and less worn out. When the work moves inland, we also handle temporary shower facility rentals in Santa Ana, a few minutes up the 55.
More Costa Mesa work our deluxe shower trailers cover
Most of our shower calls in this city come from race weekends, big construction jobs and fire season. Race producers want rinse lines and private rooms at the fairgrounds finish. Contractors want crews clean before the drive home on the 405. Fire and relief teams need a unit at a shelter or a staging yard with very little notice.
Fairgrounds animal shelters
When fires push horses and livestock to the OC Fair & Event Center, owners and volunteers stay for days. An ADA + 2 unit beside the barns gives them a private hot shower.
Bridge Shelter backup rooms
The city’s Bridge Shelter houses up to 100 people with showers on site. When rooms close for repair or more beds come online, a self-contained unit keeps hygiene going.
Film and photo shoots
Commercial shoots on city property need a film permit through the TESSA portal. We send a site sketch for the permit file and park the unit where the crew wants it.
Summer camps at Jack Hammett
Pro and college camps at Jack Hammett Sports Complex and the Vanguard University fields can outgrow the locker rooms on peak days. A shower unit by the field house handles the overflow.
Westside cleaning and repair crews
Older shops and industrial buildings on the Westside bring tank cleaning and repair crews who need a decon shower. We set a unit by the bay door and service it each shift.
What ties these together is that a hot shower changes how a long day ends. Because our units sit staged across the region instead of a couple of states away, getting a shower trailer to a Costa Mesa site, even on a short-notice call, is an ordinary ask here, not a scramble.
Three kinds of Costa Mesa-area jobs, and how we plan mobile shower units for each
Race director, fairgrounds finish festival
When a race sells out and the finish area grows, we plan showers by the staff village first, then add rooms for the elite field. We fill the tanks the evening before, test the water heaters at dawn and keep a driver nearby until the last runner clears the course.
Superintendent, multi-year housing build
When a housing job starts with demolition and abatement, we place the shower unit near the decon line and the site trailer. We set a weekly service day, hook up to the site water meter once it is ready and move the unit as each phase opens.
Shelter lead, evacuation or animal shelter
When a shelter opens on short notice, we take the head count and the gate location by phone and send the unit that fits the lot. An ADA + 2 goes first for mixed groups, and an 8-Station follows if the stay runs past a few days.

Working beyond the city line? See our full shower trailer coverage across California.
Eastside and East 17th Street
Streets are tight and parking is scarce near the 17th Street shops. We plan a short trailer and a side-lot spot for film crews and street events here.
Westside
Converted warehouses and shops sit close to older industrial blocks. Cleaning and repair crews need a unit by the bay door, and we bring a 2-Station combo when the yard is small.
Mesa Verde and Fairview Park
Fairview Park hosts the Lions Club Fish Fry, summer concerts and monthly restoration days. Event crews here usually want the unit on a paved lot off Placentia Avenue.
South Coast Metro
Office towers, South Coast Plaza and Segerstrom Center sit over garages with low ceilings. We set trailers on surface lots and plan the route with the property manager.
Orange Coast College and Fairview Road
Campus builds at Orange Coast College and tournaments at Jack Hammett Sports Complex share this stretch of Fairview Road. We time deliveries around class and game traffic.
The fairgrounds and Fair Drive
The OC Fair & Event Center holds the fair, races, concerts and animal shelters on one 150-acre campus. Its long paved lots make delivery fast once the right gate is open.
We offer rapid same-day delivery and 24/7 immediate dispatch across Costa Mesa, and we can often be there within 1 to 2 hours.
What customers say about our private shower trailers
“We brought in a private shower trailer for the crew at an outdoor concert we hosted, and it made the whole weekend easier. Our performers and staff could not believe how upscale the rooms looked inside. The service was incredible from delivery to pickup, and I recommend this trailer to anyone running a big outdoor show.”
“The setup crew was professional and courteous the whole time. I would recommend their Costa Mesa shower trailer rentals to any contractor.”
“Stepping into one of those shower rooms after a twelve hour shift felt like checking into a hotel. The delivery, the setup and the trailer itself all went better than we expected, and our whole field crew noticed.”
“On our Westside job the service truck pulled in right when the schedule said it would. The drivers kept our Costa Mesa yard neat and were polite to everyone on the crew.”
“When the building on our site could not keep up with the head count, this portable shower unit filled the gap. It held up through a long week of heavy use, and I would pick it for a festival grounds or a jobsite without a second thought.”
What race weekends ask about private shower trailers in Costa Mesa
When we can’t tap a hose at our Costa Mesa site, how does a mobile shower unit get water?
Every unit carries its own fresh tank, from 105 gallons on the combos to 200 gallons on the 8-Station. On a site with a hose bib or a metered hydrant, we hook up and the tank stays full. If there is no water at all, like a dirt lot at a race finish, we fill the tanks before setup and schedule refills by truck. Tell us the head count and the hours, and we will plan the refill timing for you.
How do we add more shower units if our camp at the fairgrounds keeps growing?
Call the same number and give us the new head count. With over 250 trailers in our own fleet, we can usually send a second unit the same day, often within 1 to 2 hours. We place it next to the first one so a single service run covers both. Large camps often mix an 8-Station for volume with an ADA + 2 for accessible rooms.
Do you clean and restock the private shower trailer during a long Costa Mesa job?
Yes. We set a service day that fits your shifts, and on that visit we clean every room, restock soap and paper, pump the waste tank and top off the fresh water. Long jobs often get service two or three times a week. Busy camps can add an attendant who stays on site during peak hours.
Will a portable shower trailer fit our Eastside lot, and does the ground need to be level?
Most lots work. The 8-Station needs about 35 feet of straight space with the tongue, while the combos are much shorter. We level with jacks and pads, so a gentle slope is fine, though soft sand or mud needs plywood or gravel first. Send us a photo of the spot and the gate width, and we will tell you which unit fits.
Can we keep a temporary shower trailer in Costa Mesa for a full year on a housing build?
Yes. Many construction jobs keep units for months or years, and we write long-term terms with a set service schedule. We can move the unit as each phase of the site opens. Ask for a long-term quote, and we will lay out the service plan with it.
Is there enough hot water for a full morning rush of showers?
Yes, for the head count we size the unit to. The water heaters recover between showers, and the 1.5 GPM metered heads keep each shower efficient. One 8-Station handles about 200 showers a day. If your whole crew showers in the same half hour, tell us, and we will add rooms rather than push one unit too hard.
Where do we send CAL FIRE or county paperwork for a mobile shower trailer order?
Send it to us at the same time you call, and we will match it to the unit. Our 8-Station Private Shower Trailer is CAL FIRE approved, and we are SAM.gov registered for federal and state orders. We send a certificate of insurance and unit specs to your logistics or finance section before the truck leaves. For county and city shelters, we work directly with the person running the site.
What happens to the greywater and waste from a hot-water shower trailer in Costa Mesa?
Nothing goes on the ground. The 8-Station holds 950 gallons of waste and the combos hold 300, and we pump them on a set schedule. On long jobs with a sewer or septic connection, we can tie in so the tanks rarely need pumping. We plan the pump schedule from your head count on the first call.
Can a race at the OC Fair & Event Center get showers set up the night before?
Yes. Most race weekends get delivery the day before, with the tanks filled and the water heaters on by evening. We confirm the load-in gate with fairgrounds staff, since gate times change from event to event. A driver checks the unit at dawn before the first start.
Do you deliver portable shower trailers to Newport Beach and Fountain Valley too?
Yes. We serve all of coastal Orange County from the same dispatch, including Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley and Santa Ana. Most nearby sites get same-day delivery. For longer projects, our service area covers all 50 states.
Does a film shoot in Costa Mesa need a permit for the shower unit?
The trailer goes on the film permit’s site plan when the shoot uses a city street, park or lot, and you apply through the city’s TESSA portal. A shoot on private property still needs a permit unless it stays off public property and needs no parking variance. We send a site sketch with the unit size so the city has what it needs.
Planning guides for portable shower trailers on Costa Mesa jobs and events
Deeper reading for site managers, camp coordinators and producers, from sizing a shower trailer to the head count to keeping hot water through a long deployment. Tap any guide to open it.
How many shower rooms a Costa Mesa race or camp really needs
Start with the busiest hour, not the total head count. Most people need about 8 to 10 minutes door to door, so one room handles about six people an hour at a steady pace. An 8-Station covers roughly 48 people an hour, or about 200 in a full day. A race finish with 300 staff and elite runners who all want to shower between 10 and noon needs two units, while a crew of 40 spread across an evening shift does fine with one.
Next, look at who is showering. Mixed groups with older volunteers or people with limited mobility need at least one accessible room, which the ADA + 2 provides. Crews in dirty work clothes may want the 4-Station combo, since it adds a washer and dryer. Write down the peak hour, the group mix and the number of days, then send those with your quote request. We size the order from those three numbers and adjust it the same day if they change.
What to ask before you rent a private shower trailer in Costa Mesa
Ask who owns the trailer and who services it. A broker may promise a unit and then send someone else’s truck, which is how service days get missed. Ask how often the tanks get pumped, what happens if a water heater trips and how fast someone comes back. Ask whether every room locks and has its own hot and cold controls. Get a certificate of insurance before the delivery date.
Then ask about access. If you need an accessible room, ask whether the unit meets the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and how the ramp sets up. Ask what the site must provide, such as a flat spot, a 50 amp circuit or a generator, and a water source or a refill plan. A good rental company asks you about gate width and slope before you ask them. If the first call skips those questions, keep looking.
Planning showers around the Costa Mesa event calendar
The busy months for shower rentals here follow the fairgrounds calendar. May brings the OC Marathon weekend and the Night Nation Run. The OC MENA Festival lands in June, and the OC Fair runs from mid-July to mid-August with the Fun Run inside it. Fall brings fire season, when shelters and staging yards can open with a day’s notice. A unit for a fixed event weekend should be reserved six to eight weeks out.
Book early for any event that sells out, and tell us about setup and teardown days, not just race day. Crews often arrive two days early and leave a day late, and those are the days they need showers most. Events on city property also need a special event permit, so build the trailer into that application. If a date moves, call us right away, because the big weekends fill our calendar fast.
What changes a portable shower unit quote in Costa Mesa
Unit size is the first driver, since an 8-Station takes more to move and service than a 2-Station combo. Rental length comes next, because a weekend race and a two-year housing build are priced very differently, and long jobs usually get better terms. Service frequency matters too, since every pump-out and refill is a truck visit. A site with a sewer tie-in and a water meter needs fewer visits than a dirt lot with no hookups.
Access and timing round it out. A same-day emergency order takes extra planning. Night deliveries for freeway crews and gates that only open at 4 a.m. take some planning too. Generators and attendants add to the order, as does a second unit for overflow. Ask us to price two options, such as one 8-Station with daily service against two smaller units serviced twice a week, and pick the one that fits your budget.
Fire season planning for Costa Mesa shelters and staging yards
Shelters that open in a hurry go better when the plan exists before the fire. Pick the spot for a mobile shower unit now, at the community center or the fairgrounds lot, and note the nearest water source and power. Write down the gate code and who can open it at night. Keep our number in the shelter binder next to your other vendors, so when the call comes we can skip the questions and send the right unit.
Plan for mixed groups. Families and older evacuees often need an accessible room, which the ADA + 2 provides. Staff on long shifts do better with an 8-Station set apart near their own area. Agencies that watch CAL FIRE incident updates can call us when an evacuation warning goes out, not after the order comes. A unit that rolls early can always be sent back.
