Firefighters from Camborne were called to a fire involving a kayak in the middle of a field between Reawla and Gwinear, just after 5pm yesterday.
The kayak was completely destroyed in the fire, and the crew used one hose reel to damp down the area.
Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service said: "The cause is believed to be arson."
