Three fire crews from Poole attended along with a crew from Westbourne.
A Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "We received the first of multiple 999 calls about a fire in Churchfield Road, Poole at 7pm last night, four crews initially attended, three from Poole and one from Westbourne; however, Westbourne was released fairly quickly.
"The fire started in a large shed/workshop and spread to neighbouring gardens – this and another shed were destroyed, a third shed was damaged, and there was fire damage to the exteriors of several houses and adjacent fencing.
"Four breathing apparatus wearers used two hose reel jets to extinguish, and the stop was at 8.26pm, with the last crew leaving the scene about an hour later."
The fire investigator is due to return to the scene today.
