Fire agencies, including the Boise National Forest, Idaho Department of Lands, and the Bureau of Land Management, are actively responding to the Dollar Fire. These agencies are implementing Stage 1 fire restrictions across state and federal lands in the affected area to mitigate further fire risks. This includes enforcing road closures and evacuations as necessary, with the Valley County Sheriff's Office providing updates on these measures via their Facebook page.

Weather conditions in the area are critical, as they can significantly influence fire behavior and response efforts. The ongoing drought conditions and potential high winds could pose challenges for containment efforts. Fire officials continue to monitor the situation closely and are taking appropriate actions to protect life and property while working towards achieving a higher containment percentage. For ongoing updates, residents are encouraged to stay informed through official channels and prepare for potential evacuations as part of the Ready, Set, GO evacuation system.
