Further support was requested from Bridgwater, Frome and Glastonbury, and the service said the fire was brought under control at 3.24am this morning.
The fire and emergency services operation woke several Wells residents last night.
One said: "I could smell smoke throughout the house and couldn't find the cause until I went outside and realised it must be a large blaze over the Mendips. I hope no-one was hurt."
