A spokesman for Dorset Fire and Rescue Service said that the fire involved around 120sqm of undergrowth and heath.
The spokesman added: "The cause was deliberate.
"The Fire Service would encourage any member of the public who sees someone deliberately starting a fire to report it immediately to the police."
