What happened to the livestock in areas burned by the Hayman Fire?
A. Almost all of them are rescued and cared for until the owner can take them back again. One example is the Douglas County Animal Rescue Project, which was established to provide resources for livestock affected by the Hayman Fire. Efforts have been focused on the evacuation of livestock and placement in temporary housing at the Douglas County Fairgrounds and other facilities. Experienced volunteers are providing 24-hour care for the displaced livestock. Food and other supplies are being purchased using money donated to the Douglas County Sheriff s Animal Relief Fund established at the Wells Fargo Bank. For additional information about volunteering, donations, or anything related to this effort, please call (720) 733-6903.
