A Wellington firetruck has been taken off the road, after its engine caught fire, prompting a response from a fellow crew.

The New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union said the truck was only one of two high-reach heavy aerial-ladder trucks in the capital.

No-one was hurt in the blaze and the fire was extinguished.
