Ballarat City senior station officer Steve Poulter said the car fire looked like it was deliberately lit before it started burning grass in the plantation.
Operations Officer Western District 15 Anthony Pearce said the fire was contained by the CFA.
The area was then patrolled and managed by the Hancock Plantation Brigade.
Police investigators are currently looking into the arson.
