I am gathering people willing to help pets evacuated by the fire

Hi! we are taking in reptiles and fish that have been evacuated due to the raging fire in Santa Barbara. A lot of times the public think of the cats and dogs, then they think of livestock. But where will people take their goldies? Where will they take their koi, Where will they take their chams that need so much care? I am looking for local (central coast of california) people with an "extra" tank or tub to temporarily care for dislocated pets. No guilt trips or any thing just advertised on Craigslist and thought I would ask here.

Oh to be closer..but I'm not... Hope others out there can help

I hope others chip in. All I can think of is all those homes with ponds in Santa Barbara and montecito... And this is the 3ed major wild fire we have had this season in our county. 75 homes gone only 10% contained and the evacuation area is expanding highways shut down... it's scary! I am also taking blankets and kennels to the shelters. They are chalk full of pets right now and keeping a few of the smallest dogs in transport kennels... and in the midst of kitten season.  :'(
