Three fire engines were sent to the scene and crews used a main jet and water from a hydrant to tackle the blaze involving grass and conifer trees.
As a result, people living in the area surrounding Staines Hill were warned to keep their windows and doors closed due to the smoke coming from the area of vegetation.
