Anyone with livestock being affected by Idaho fire evacuations

Looks like half the state near where I live is on fire. Hailey/Ketchum area all the way up to Galina Peak is at risk right now. Last I looked over 2000 people were being evacuated. There is a lot of horse people up there, a lot of people with cattle. I want to offer my help, but I don't want to offer a blanket statement to anyone and everyone. This sounds terrible, but there are a lot of hoity toity people up there with multi million dollar animals. I want to offer my short pasture to someone who might need a place for their animals, but I don't want someone to take me up on the offer that is going to bring down a horse that costs more than my house and trucks put together and sue me if their livestock gets a scratch. What do I do?

I can take in maybe 5-6 horses or cattle. I'm not fenced for sheep, goats, or llamas. I do have a large pen that could house maybe one large, or two smaller pigs. I don't mind if someone wanted to bring down their own panels and set up fencing for them. I have three steers and two horses, a ton of chickens, and my own dogs and cats. None of their animals would be able to have contact with mine with the way my fences are set up.

I'm all hotwire and tee posts. They would have to bring their own water troughs, but I can run hoses to supply water. They have to bring hay too, since I haven't put in this year's hay yet. There is enough grass to support a few animals for two/three weeks.

Do any of you here, know anyone up there that needs help?
