Kent Fire and Rescue Service is reminding people to not leave bonfires unattended after a blaze broke out on Bourne Close in Tonbridge.
The incident happened just before midnight when two fire engines attended and crews used hose reels to extinguish the blaze.
Nobody was injured but nearby building materials were damaged.
Kent Fire and Rescue Service says: "The current advice is to avoid having bonfires but if you do choose to light one, please do so safely and it's always best to inform your neighbours beforehand.
"Bonfires should be built well clear of buildings, garden sheds, fences, hedges and overhanging branches, and kept to a manageable size. Also, make sure it's evenly built so it collapses inwards as it burns. It's really important not to leave bonfires unattended."
