Two engines from Croydon and one from Purley were called to the scene at 10.45am by someone reporting a person on fire.
The firefighters arrived to discover the woman's hair had set alight while she lit up a cigarette.
They gave her some first aid until the London Ambulance Service took her to hospital with minor injuries. The air ambulance was initially called but were told to return.
