Fescue doesn't go dormant
It certainly does in Texas in the heat which is why people don't like it here. It will green up if you water it or it gets rain.

I thought this was the case, too. I covered a smaller shaded area that kept getting muddy with tall fescue. Looked good and died back when the heat came. Figured that would happen. It'll bounce back when it cools off, i'm guessing?

are you sure it is going dormant and not getting brown patch? brown patch will make fescue look dead/dormant. I have had fescue die from heat and seen it get very brown in high heat due to brown patch. It recovers from brown patch fairly quickly when temp or humidity drops.
I know fescue in rare situations can go dormant but I can't say I have personally seen it in my 15+ years with fescue lawns.
