Twelve fire engines and around 80 firefighters tackled the blaze in Rainham Road at around 3pm today (July 10).
Firefighters will remain at the scene to dampen down the surrounding grassland.
Crews from Wennington, East Ham, Leytonstone, Hainault and other surrounding Fire Stations attended the scene.
The blaze was under control just after 6.20pm.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
A spokesperson for London Fire Brigade said: “A wildfire response vehicle was deployed at the incident.
“These vehicles provide off-road capability enabling the transportation of additional equipment closer to fires on open ground.
“Each vehicle carries approximately 475 litres of water, a backpack blower, ear defenders, beaters and misting lance technology, which allows firefighters to pump water and drive, enabling them to tackle grass fires more quickly and safely.
“The Brigade is currently trialling four wildfire response vehicles across the capital.”
