Arsonists are suspected to have torched a stack of pallets in Sturry near Canterbury.
Emergency crews were called to Calcott Hill shortly before 3pm on Saturday to reports a "sizeable quantity" of the pallets was well alight.
Fire fighters wearing oxygen tanks used a mixture of water and compressed air foam to tackle the blaze.
The fire was brought under control by 5.30pm. There were no reported injuries, but ignition is thought to have been "malicious", said Kent Fire Services.
