(Scipio) The Lowry Fire in west central Utah is nearly contained today. Officials had figured the fire would burn until the middle of September, but recent rainfall has aided in suppression efforts. As of this morning the fire was eighty-nine percent contained. A total of 132 personnel were assigned to the fire, but a number of them will begin demobilizing today. Total acreage burned has reached nearly twenty-nine hundred acres.
