Firefighters in The Dalles battled a fire late Monday afternoon off an alleyway between 9th, 10th, and Lewis Streets.  The fire occurred in the backyard of a home on 1510 East 9th, and burned a shed and a van, along with some fences.  Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue crews were assisted by firefighters from the Dallesport Fire District in battling the blaze, which broke out at about 5:30 p.m.  Crews had to deal with narrow access, running hoses from hydrants through driveways on 9th and Lewis.  MCFR Chief Bob Palmer issued a reminder that fire season is not over yet, with predicted dry weather expected to extend the season well into October.
