Hide AdThen at 11.33am on Tuesday (September 3), crews from Bexhill and The Ridge were again called to attend Buckholt Lane.
A spokesman said crews used one hose reel to extinguish a ‘tree fire’. It is believed the second call out was related to the first fire and was not a second fire.
The fire service has not yet revealed a cause of the fire.
Sam Coleman, councillor for Bexhill Sidley, said: “Thank you to the fire brigade for responding promptly and I will be working with others to see how an incident like this can be avoided in the future.”
