About 400 gallons of water helped douse the flames.
A cause of the fire has not been found.
About an hour later, about 2 km, another hedge was reported ablaze at the front of a house at 341 Molnar Road.
The fire destroyed about 50 feet of mature hedges and melted some siding on the house.
Again, no cause has been found.
Random fires have been set around the Rutland area during the last two years, resulting in thousands of dollars in property damage.
