An emergency crew from Henfield rushed to the scene between Cowfold and Shermanbury just after 7pm.
A spokesman for West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service said: “Upon arrival they found a large bonfire burning general waste. Firefighters used one hose reel and a jet to dampen down the area around the fire, which was quite close to a hedgerow.
“Crews spoke with the landowner and shared some advice about not leaving bonfires unattended near hedgerows, which the farmer took on board.”
